On a different note the moss was doing great but now it seem like algae is growing on it "killing" it does that make sense and ideas- thanks for the help

Probably due to bloat issues...that is my best guess. I'd love to set up this 55 I have with a pair of german rams and pair of apistos and some cardinal tetras and a BN, but I can't figure out a way to fix the center brace...

I have a 70 gal Oceanic that has the glass brace in the center. It was a snake tank before I got it and the owner broke the brace with one of the weights he used to keep the screen down. I took Plexiglas and a tube of 3M silicone caulk and glued then clamped it for 48 hours. It has been just fine for several months and I don't think I will ever have trouble with it. If you can get some plastic and cut it to fit inside under the brace, you can fix it.

Correct. Bloodworms contain too much proteins that they are often the leading cause of bloat issues.
