Eurobrace tank failure

[Bigshrimpin6]

Hello!

I've been reading quite a bit about rimless tanks having burst seams and it's gotten me very nervous.

I'm considering adding a eurobrace to my rimless tank (Red Sea Max e-260)

Does anyone have any experience with eurobraced tanks having rimless-style catastrophes?

(any eurobracing or general stabilization advice is encouraged)

Thanks!

Is the tank empty? I think any braces should be added to an empty tank?

If it’s not, perhaps get a eurobraced tank that you can swap for the current rimless?

Red sea reefer 425xl rimless year and a half no issues. Id say on 70 gallon tank your fine. I bought a used 70 gallon tank before this with a broken brace and it was old and it last 4 years for me with no issues. Watch the seams for bubbles but by that time for a reseal. Its more of tanks that are very off level that this occurs or one offs typically they happen within the first year or after the 5th.

Some tanks with a euro brace have a corner overflow, those tanks have a history of failing.
