Braces on perfecto

L

Lord Viper

I have a Perfecto tank 265 and it has these black braces across the tank. They look as if they are there to hold a lighting fixture not for support of the sides of the tank. I would like to remove them Im getting shadows from them and me no likey. Should I replace them with clear acrylic piece or can I just remove them completely with no ill side affects. Thats a lot of wawa to hit the floor. thanks Bobb

Also if you do decide to replace them with clear acrylic, make sure the tank is empty or that you attach the clear ones before removing the black ones.
Just to be safe I would ALSO call perfecto.

Do you have flood insurance? It will bow and break the tank. Empty it 1st you can use an acrylic brace we did that with our 180 it never budged.

Given mine is a glass tank but it did even bulge a bit
