I agree and think thats completely idiotic. It will fail. Maybe not today or tomorrow... but someday. I have built many tanks and used to work at a tank manufacturing wharehouse.
The glass gets flexed all the way across and supports itself end to end. There is nothing between the cracks to minimize the bowing that IS stress on the glass.
I would never do that. I hope things work out for him.
(even if one was going to do a 'fix' that way... I dont think the bracing they used is at all adequate.)
