For the sake of completeness

I did consider construction UV for glass last year but never had the time to run the testing

I am wondering if using the UV cure CRL UV770 wouldn't be a good option for the very top of the glass-glass interface. I'm thinking of something like a spot weld section at the very top to minimize the need for the top eurobrace.

The idea is that the two 2" of the tank are usually not subject to water pressure like the bottom of the tank.

I can minimize the bottom eurobrace by using the plywood/epoxy groove structure.

I can likewise minimize the top eurobrace by using a splot-weld UV glass adhesive.

I guess that would make this a hybrid plywood glass hybrid silicone UV epoxy tank.

Thoughts?
