Bracing for 210g Tank??

[Typhon]

I am getting ready to order a 210g (84"x24"x24") tank from Oceanic. The standard 210g RR tank come with a 24" glass center brace to prevent bowing (Glass is 1/2" all around).

Then I found out they have a design called "Brick Style". This style doesn't require any type of bracing because they use 3/4" glass.

I am leaning toward the "Brick Style", but I am worry that the tank might still bow. Or the lack of a brace might cause more stress on the seams.

Any feedback would be great!!!

Thanks,
Typhon

I cant remeber the thread but I read a 200 gallon tank with no bracing "poping" after a long while. DONT DO it go with some kind of bracing. Better safe than 200 gallons of mess to deal with.
