Pics are perfect. So the bars are supposed to stop the front and back from bowing?

I'm talking about 1/4 inch round rods in all vertical corners to reinforce the glass to glass joins it basically will give more corner strength in the joins. That size tank with 1/2 inch glass shouldn't flex

Going in the morning to check on glass prices here close to me. It will really be the depending factor it I attempt to build this tank. If their price are as high as I think their gonna be it's probably not gonna happen.
