center brace

The brace is made out of black plastic and causes a nice shadow in the aquarium since the metal halide is right above it. Sorry the pics are not the greatest and my tank went from having a coraline outbreak to a green and brown algae outbreak that make it look terrible.

Sorry, didn't see you answered Cheech. I spent the last hour getting the pics and getting them resized and didn't notice your post. I'm still deciding what I'm going to do with the tank (my wife says I'm worse than a woman on making up my mind on things). Maybe I will get around to cutting the brace out and replacing it one of these days, or maybe not, I don't know:wall:.
 
no prob.. :) if you do decide to go for it, I've heard of people using gorilla glue (to avoid drilling hoes, using bolts and nuts) and it's worked for them.

Apparently it works quite well..


Good luck! I had that same issue in my old 90 g tank.. Drove me nuts...
 
I think I am going to try it. I have an empty 55 gal if things go really bad, but I am going to drain it half way down, gorilla glue it, and I am thinking about using about 6 nylon (or plastic) screws (three on each end). Might be a little overkill, but oh well. The next problem is what kind of acrylic? I was in to Lowes today and they had .08 thick, .08 thick shatterproof, and .22 thick. I was leaning towards the .08 shatterproof.
