then you should repair it. braces are used because the thinner glass they use in todays tanks isn't strong enough on it's own to stand the pressure of the water.

The trim was cracked, it needed to be replaced, so will it be ok with glass braces or should I try to buy new trim.

Well the trim also gives you a ledge for the glass tops to sit on. So if you plan on having glass top to cover the tank then you'll need the trim for that.
Trust the builders who made it. They could have seen people complaining about the strength or bowing of the tanks so they reinforced it. Unless it is over 15mm thick, I will not risk removing them. Replace it. My other 100 gallon would have exploded if not for the center brace and trims. All of us do not want flood in our houses.
Shoot f22 a pm. He sent me a replacement for my 55 long!
