150 gallon fish tank brace broken

[johnny819]

hi, i just bought a 150 gallon fish tank and both of the top braces are broken. the one is still there and the other one is completely gone. im wondering how i can fix it? the one brace i can easily fix with gorillia glue and that should be more than enough to hold it. but i am not so sure about what i should do on the other side. is it possible to just buy the whole top piece and replace it? thanks in advance

I use a pipe clamp. It's an adjustable clamp that's used by furniture makers.
Go to the hardware store and buy one

I don't know why people always have to use the cross braces to lift the tank.

i bought it like that from the guy. seems like you wouldnt even be able to get 340 pounds in the air from just the brace
