This month eng eng can do , first time using paint .... took me ard 30 mins to figure out how to draw shape and line !!!

Bracing very easy to measure leh , go to ur top tank view and see u will get wat i mean .

Bro i can do technical drawing for u la. Use hand sketch and apps me. I convert for you.

Yeah its easy! After reading ur post earlier, i went to tank top to see. Measured width of bracing (excluding tank glass thickness). Its 3 inches!!! So i can use the domensions liao!!!

Heres the lateral and longitudinal bracing width (excluding glass thickness at 3 inches).

Yes Occ , thats the way to measure !!! U got it !

Now u just need to go to my post 20 . See the bottom pc EOS slanted pc .

Measure from top again see the 385mm one issit the same ?

If same u are good to go !!!

( BTW , Pls dun ask me how to measure for tiles ... too chim for me to convert . U can try using my measurement and ask the tile cutter to calculate and cut for u ) Just to add on why i dun use tile , if u dun silicone down the base , when algae grow and u scrub the tiles will move too !!! this will damage ur side silicon and add extra pressure to the tank base )

385mm measured from internal glass wall (including 3 inch bracing) or from edge of bracing?

Should be from edge of bracing rite?

Ok , still the same everything "VISUALIZE and MEASURE" from the top tank .

When u see from the top , u will see ur glass cover overlaping ur bracing rite ?

Just imagine the base is on top now , measure the 385 mm and if u can reach the 456 mm area without the bracing . Get wat i mean ?

My english not very good , dunno how to describe ....

Flairtender · 25-05-2013, 12:04 AM

measure from outer edge to edge of ur bracing .... should be quite easy to figure out !!!

Occellatus · 25-05-2013, 12:05 AM

I get it!!! Could not get it just now cause i measured from tank side and failed to visualise from the inside.

Its 385mm!!! See....correct?
