36" x 36" x 14"

I am using 3/4" glass. Wondering if this will require eurobracing. Might be worth it just to keep splashing down for high flow and easy glass cleaning.
 
If the tank is only 14" high, you definitely don't need Eurobracing. BUT the bracing is nice for those benefits you mentioned above.:)
 
Yeap 14" depth

Thats why im thinking. I dont think a eurobrace would be "ugly".

I noticed you're in Calgary, you could have Concept Aquariums build one for you:) I am not a fan of regular Eurobracing and got a one piece made for my setup. I had Miracles Aquariums build mine.
 
Eurobracing is difficult to clean under, imo. With 14" depth you could use 1/2" glass and not have any issues to worry about without any bracing. At 3/4, you'll have to clean the salt off the top edge.
Nice tank! Can't wait to see the build thread?
