I personally PVC glue, Teflon wrap and then reglue the outside. Not 100% on it but it has always worked for me.

No brace with a high water line splashes easy but it looks sleek.

I used PVC and a pipette ill monitor for a couple days just to be sure. Also have plastic weld

If I did euro brace at all it would be one piece and only 2" wide. But we will see as I like the rimless look

On my tank I could just see the mess I would have with no euro brace I have lots of water always on the underside but I'm running hi flow.

Well being that I worked a 22 hour shift and kids won't let me sleep I took the opertunity to swap tanks. It took about 4 hours. All coral was dipped in RPS then put into basin with carbon powerhead and heater

Clams and fish went into a bucket. Only loss was a shrimp which for some reason was lathargic from the moment I turned on the lights

Sump is pretty chaotic as I need to buy a new in sump skimmer and ato is yet to be hooked up. Also new to build a electrical panal.

I like it, looks great Nick! Scaping really works for top downs shots!
