I have a 72" tank (made by Hagen) that has no brace (it's designed to not require one). The glass lid that is designed for this tank is a total PITA to install and remove. It's the kind that slides open rather than having hinged lids and is in three 23.5" long sections that span across the length of the tank.
I might end up having a lot of rocks in the tank and will need to be able to move them around or remove them when doing routine cleaning. This is going to be hard to achieve with the lid I have.
If the tank had two braces, it would make it possible to remove one section of the glass lid at a time rather than somehow try to remove all three sections at once (as it seems is necessary with the current design). This would be a much more practical option for dealing with the rocks.
I'm wondering if anyone else has encountered a similar problem and if you have suggestions for how to resolve it.
Thanks.
