I live in Aldie, I dont know much about tanks, the brace was already 90% broken, didnt know the reasoning behind it (now I do!) so when it got to like 80% full it broke off 100%, I then removed 15 gallons and now its half way full. I can hold the two ends and it goes together without much resistance. Its an aqueon 55 gallon 48 x 12 x 21.

Hello, I need help!!! (FIRST POST BTW!!!) As I was filling my 50 gallon with water (live rock and sand already in place) the middle brace broke. It had a crack already before filling it up (didnt know the water can cause it to fully break off). I have been reading online that I can repair it with a metal piece and screw it on or buy a new rim. My question to you guys is has anyone done this before? Should I repair it? Buy a rim? Or get a whole new tank? Thanks guys!!
