If below, there is about 4-5" of space between the back wall and stand/tank, so any moisture/heat would go up and behind the tank through the opening you see in the pic |

Glass is 1/2" thick. Tom does 3/4" for braceless tanks.

You are going to be filling this up "6 gallon freshwater reservoir for auto top-off" about every 2 to 3 days due to evaporation.

Hi, nice tank!
How did they glue the acrylic eurobrace to a glass tank? I've always been told acrylic and glass don't bond together.

Thanks! How they do it is a very common question I get. I asked A.G.E, and they won't reveal their secret, as this is their niche in the custom tank industry.
A.G.E has never had a tank leak on them. |

It's probably one of those "Don't try at home" things
