OH SNAP TANK IS GONNA BURST HELP!

[CichlaRyan]

allright my 60G's central glass holder that streches from front-back of the tank broke in half i need to repair it now. I have some fish in the tank right now. I have noticed the tank widening. How long can i keep it like this and what are the probabilitys that it will blast open? How can i fix this so the bar holds strong agian.

its glass but where can i get a clamp? over the top right? i was thinking silicone the glass together but i think clamps a better idea.

That's not good. It was made so it wouldn't bow. If possible take some water out, only way to make it safe really for now. Someone should help with how to fix it but for now lwer the water level to where it's not bowing as much, LIke right now!

i think clamps are my best bet. i dont have the money right now for a new tank.

Put a strap around the middle temporarily, but set up the video camera though just in case!

Be careful to spread the load.

i was thinking 2 clamps on each side just like what the glass was doing before it broke.
