Hi All.
I'm designing a new house and a new in wall look through tank. The house will be two story with the living and tank on the upper floor. We will be living in a high risk earthquake zone (Specifically, Blackball, New Zealand not too far from the alpine fault). How have others living in these sorts of areas braced your tank? I was thinking a galv metal frame that braces the top edge of the tank with one side bolted to be able to install/remove the tank with some form of cushioning between the steel and glass. The hood would hide the frame.
Keen to hear how others may have done it.
Cheers
