I have a 90 gal, 25" high acrylic aquarium. The thickness of the walls is 3/8" and looks to be sturdy enough. Would there be a way to reinforce the structure of the tank, or should I just leave it as is?
 
is there a eurobrace or other style top. If so its on the thin side of fine in my opinion. My 30" tall 300 is only 1/2" and I've had it going for 12 years now, including moving it a few times.
 
There is a pretty wide eurobracing on this tank. I'm not quite certain, but it looks like there may be stress marks along the corners of the tank. There are thin threads of what look to be uniform scratches on the sides and rounded corners of the tank. Is this normal, or should I be concerned?
 
get a photos probly could be used as a sump now since it is rounded corners my advise would not work for you.

which would be add square dowls in all the corners and you shuld be ok

what lenght is the tank I may trade you my 100 for it since all I may do is cut it in half anyways.
 
Could be bend marks and it could be stress fractures. Hard to tell without seeing it and I know pics of things like that are not easy either.
 
sounds like crazing. Odds are that you will be ok. Post some pics and it will be easier to tell.
