This is the only picture I have that kinda shows how bulky the bracing is for this tank:

The top bracing is two layers of 1/2" glass overlapped. If you notice the center braces are also overlapped but only in small strips, leaving an area on the bottom of the brace that collects salt creep and splashes like no tomorrow and is near impossible to get good light peneration through.

Here's another gem
