Hey everyone!

Here I'll post about my 90 Gallon build I started about a month ago. I built the tank using acrylic panes and the stand using mostly cedar. The current dimensions are 36" x 36" x 16". I am a bit concerned about the stability since there was some bowing when I initially filled the tank, so I am considering adding some Euro bracing to the top. I will have the tank in the main room of my house, will soon be looking for the equipment to get the whole thing started!

What is the thickness of the acrylic you used?
 
It is 1/4 inches thick.
 
You should add euro brace to the top. :)
 
Yeah, I am kind of kicking myself for not going with a 3/8 inch or thicker. Hoping it won't be too big of a problem once I add the brace.
