130 gallon HELPPP

It kind of looks like someone broke the plastic trim for it, and tried to weld up some sort of halfassed metal frame out of angle iron or something.
 
I believe you are right. But what do I do about it now. Can I take it off and make something does the tank need to be empty? Or is it for looks?
 
I believe it is there for a function, just like the plastic trim on other tanks. Though with the break in it, it may not be as functional as it should be.

If you can not find a plastic replacement one, I'd drain, remove and repair it, giving it a good coat of paint and re-install.
 
I am thinking the same thing just had to get some more opinions. Thanks.

OKay next question. Can I measure the outside and have someone make one and replace it later when I drain it? How exact do does it need to be? What should it be made of? Who do I go to to have one made? Is their an aquarium company or someone that could make me one. Depending on price I will just buy one or pay someone to do it for me so it is right. I love my tank and do not want it to go pooof!! and have a puddle.
