I have a 55g tank that I'm going to be using as a grow out. The problem is, the center brace on it is broken right at the glass. It's broken in a way that if I wanted to, I could use sealant to re-attatch the brace to the glass and the other broken spot. Would this be enough to support the walls of the aquarium, or would there be a better way of going about this? The brace/border is siliconed to the top of the glass, so replacing the whole thing is kinda out of the question at this point, as well as buying a new tank. I only have enough money to get the filtration and substrate etc. 
If anyone has had this problem or if you have any suggestions on how to fix this, I'd really appreciate it. Pics would be amazing too if possible.
Unfortunately, my 5 year old decided to play photographer, and broke my camera, so right now I just have my camera phone. I'll see if I can get some clear shots with it. The way it's broken, it seems as though I could just re-silicone it back onto the glass. I thought of the brace over the top and sides as well.
