Hey everyone!!
I just bought a used 65 gallon reef ready tank and stand. I got it home and filled it about 3/4 of the way and I noticed the middle support bracket was cracked and seperating. I could squeeze the tank sides together and the crack would disappear. My question is can I fix it, or will the tank be ok without it? Or am I screwed? The tank is 48" long and 12" wide. BTW this message board is great.
Thanks Doug
:help:

take the measurment and you should be able to have the top black brace ordered and you can install it yourself.

Where would I order the complete trim and brace from, since it is one complete piece? If the tank is 48" x 12" will any trim/brace fit different makes? Thanks

You shouldn't have to threw all that trouble the place you bought it from should give you a new one.

My 55 was also cracked when i bought it.
My brace had a 3/4 inch grove in it.
What I did was truned the tank up side down and filled the middle brace with epxy glue and a metal mesh strip.
