I used a two part epoxy for plastics to fix a canister filter. It has held great. You can find it at Lowes or Home Depot.

u think it would hold a 120 gals of water tho? i once filled a 55 outside with it broke in the same spot and couldnt believe how much it bowed. maybe i should build a wood frame around the tank just to be on the safe side?

go to your local glass hsop or fish tank builder buy a new peice of glass and some silicone and fix it! or tak e it to the manufacturer and have a professional repair! make sure you clean up all the old silicone with a few braqnd new razor blades and some meth

no but its just the plastic support, no glass work needed. maybe ill look for a replacement tho.

i guess 3 options, plastic epoxy, wood frame around the outside, or look with a trashed 120 i can steal the support from

You could make a new frame for the top with strips of plexy or acrylic that fit down over the existing frame....little sealer good to go
