Two of the boards are red...why are the red? Paint? Or some sort of wrap? And why? Just curious.

Actually, there are four braces, two were the original U-shaped ones and two 1 1/2" angle iron braces I added, so they are about a foot apart from each other. I attached them with the same 1/4 X 1" TEK screws like what was used on the other braces and also used to attach the coroplast. The tanks are sloped at 1/2" per foot, so I just grabbed a couple of 2 X 4's I had laying around to start with, as that spot was at the 1 1/2" space. Not having any other scrap lumber, I ended up buying a sheet of 1/2" foam board and a roll of tape that happened to be red. I cut the board to make a 1/2", 1", and 2" spacers. I then installed the braces and glued the blocks of foam taped together with the red tape to the bottom of the tanks with silicone caulking. After that was set up, I removed the braces, installed the coroplast back on, and then reinstalled the braces. This is a better photo of the braces.
