Reusing bracing to convert to euro brace.

[Jasonmurawezuk]

Hey guys. First time poster here.
I'm currently using a secondhand 5ft tank to convert it in to a 2 step down tank.
Tank dimensions are 1500*600wide*700tall
Sorry for the metric measurements US guys.
Anyway I was wondering if you think I could reuse the old bracing and convert it to euro brace so I don't need new glass cut. With all my added baffles internally there is already less pressure on the sides.
I've added photos of the tank, old bracing set up and what I'm planning for the new set up.
The deep end of the tank would have a 80mm (3") wide piece and then the long bits at 50mm (2") wide. On the shallow end of the tank I'd just need a 40mm wide piece to finish the bracing.
Glass is all 11.5-12mm, just under half inch.
Reckon I'm safe with this set up of should the long pieces run all the way to the end panels ? And maybe be wider ?

Sorry you have not received any answers.

Its unclear what you're exactly trying to do - and its also unclear why you think you need bracing - if the original aquarium did not? (Its unclear whether it did or didn't). The pictures dont explain how you are planning to attach the new piece to the old tank?

It seems like you are asking if you can reuse the bracing you took off, but without the cross brace, changing it to a perimeter braced tank?

Maybe some guys with experience will come along, to weigh in on whether or not the new internal ledges and baffles make up for the cross brace removal. I suspect it would be something to try at your own risk since no one knows how polished your glass was and how clean your silicone was, etc...
