I need to place a LED light right in the center, but the brace will block too much light. I've read of people using acrylic that they drill and tap then put holes in whats left of the brace and secure it with nylon bolts. I was thinking of doing this but using some kind of epoxy as well. The other option is to cut a strip out of a pane of 1/4" glass that I've got. Not sure what the strip width the thickness ratio should be. For example is a 2" strip sufficient for 1/4" or would I need more like a 4" strip? If anyone reading this has a tank with a glass center support, I'd be interested to know what size the tank is and what the dimensions are on the center brace.
I've worked with both acrylic and glass so the material is of no concern, I just want to use the option that will be most secure.
