I use 1.5" x 1.5" x .125 wall square tube and with any tank over 4' long I put a center brace in the middle front, back, top & bottom. If you are look for a full open front then you need to use a heavier wall tube for the front top like a .188 wall.

Thanks Grizz. Don't need the full open front.

What did you do to attach a skin. Drill through the tube or have tabs added where needed to attach the skin
