i guess my tank expanded? it is about half a inch longer in the center. is there any way i can reattach the bracer? This is for my glass 135 gallon tank =(

I would go get a big bar clamp and slowly bring it back into place. After that you might be able to glue the center support back into place.

you could get a replacement top, or a custom lid. But other then that id say the glass is stretched, so if u refill it or havnt unfilled it its gonna blow. So pretty much your screwed. get a new tank

I think the tank can be fixed,like Rally stated.
But do it with the tank drained.
You are draining it right?

The glass won't permanently "stretch". If he gets a new frame it will be as good as a new tank.

what kind of glue would be best to used for this large of a tank? im draining as we speak

I agree with the clamp idea.. I might even do it full.. over a few days, then figure out a way to fix the frame or replace it all together...

My ind is imagining a trip to the home depot, but I am not sure what I would use...
