Plastic braceand cross member replacement

[TonyB13]

Good morning 

I bought this 350 gallon DAS aquarium about 6 years ago and the top cross members are rusted and warped and need immediate replacement. I have tried several times to contact DAS I think they are out of business. Looked online for someone to build me a new plastic replacement frame no luck. I would appreciate any info or suggestions from anyone who might have done this before. 

Some thoughts and questions 

Do I have to empty my tank completely or can I replace frame with like 50% water in it. 

Second question/thought is that switching it to euro bracing is my only option what material should I use is there a stronger glue/silicone that I should use. 

Thanks all

Tony
