So I'm going to build a 20" acrylic cube. My question is how wide will the euro brace need to be? I was thinking about 2" but I want to make sure it provides enought support.

What thickness of acrylic are you using for the tank?
You might not need any bracing..

I would build it out of acrylic thick enough to not need the eurobrace. Will make cleaning much easier as your scraper can start at the top and not be blocked by the eurobrace.

I dont know the req thickness for your size panels but I believe there are calculators.
