Center brace?

[TroyF]

Hello, I'm considering a Oceanic 58gal RR tank. I need to know if it has a center brace or not. Oceanic's site only has dimensions and doesn't specify a center brace. TIA

I'm not sure on that size of tank, but they built a good tanks and put in braces that seem to be bigger then a lot tank makers, What is it that You want to make sure it will have one or don't want a brace on the tank.

Hi Vince, I'm hoping it doesn't. Oceanic's 65 gal tank does have one but it's 24" tall as opposed to the 58gal which is ~20".

I am sure someone will jump in, My oceanic 150gal is 29 inches tall and has one that is 1/2inch glass that is about 10 to 12 inches wide, But I saw a tank like mine that the brace was taken out and that was a bad move as they had to drain it and have it put back,

I had a 155gal with a large centerbrace and also a 75gal Hagen without. The height is the determining factor I believe. What are the dimensions of your 150gal for the sake of curiousity?

72LX18DX29H 1/2 inch glass , I think it is the height x length on the tank like You said, The one where they took out the brace was the same as Mine.
