Euro Braced Tank

[Gdog67]

Hello, somewhat of a newbie here, I have a question about Euro braced tanks. From what I've read they are stronger because of this bracing, which is good, but for the life of me I do not understand how it would work with equipment. Am I missing something here, it seems Like HOB filters would be hard to mount, even lily pipes seem like they would have some problems. Any feedback would be appreciated.

Thanks

Assuming we're talking about frameless tanks, people tend to use canister filters with them, so if anything it's just hoses, air lines and cords going in/out.

Eurobraced tanks aren't frameless/rimless instead of a centre brace, they have a brace that goes around the top edge of the aquarium,normally a couple of inches in size.

Hob filters look kind of awkward unless it's big enough.. spongev(or mattenfilters), canister or internal filters all work fine. I wouldn't suggest a sump unless it was already drilled though.
