Well that is a good point Dawn, free is always good.

If you wiggle the tank at one end in both directions how much does it move?

Oh come on...it weighs a ton, bet it doesn't move easily! :p

Dawn, just add some more vertical pieces. :) I would say two more along the front and two more along the back.

I think the biggest risk is that you will crack the bottom pane of glass probably right where that center support is. I've seen more than one 8-10' tank cracked in that spot. LOVE your tank dimensions!

That's my fear!:cry:

Not too sure.

You would be surprised how metal moves if it is not solid enough, I should know I work with it every day. 1" tube can bend fairly easy.

I was joking Grizz. :neutral:

Isn't the glass 1/2" or 3/8" at least? Is it really 1/4"? Do you know how thick the bottom pane is? Is the bottom pane tempered?

I know this is going to be a tough question to answer but are the corners of the tube almost square or do they have a bit of a rounded corner?

Not even a little bit.

A bit rounded.
