I guess I didn't explain my plan completely. The 1" SS strap is only to bridge the water from the front to back glass. That strap will be welded to 3/4" SS angle on each end, and that weld will be in a simi "Y" shape to give strength to each end of the angle as it sits on the top of the tanks edges. I was probably not going to make the angle pieces 18" long since I will be replacing the 2- 18" glass braces with 3 SS braces. But at this point based on the fact that I have not gotten a single positive response I think I will have to abandon my plans for this modification, I am not looking to destroy my system, I have way too much money tied up in there.
