Help! broken frame

[lobster4]

I was painting the background today and when I finished putting everything back together, I noticed there is a huge crack in my frame. The fish tank is tilted a little bit but I didn't think it was that big of a deal. Is this a big deal?

Is that a center brace??

yeah it's the center, like the tank is bowing out. I was thinking to brace it with an aluminum clamp

Absolutely. Especially if that's a bigger tank.

Google "euro brace". That's how I repaired mine.

Make sure you take the water level way down before attaching a clamp. Leaving the clamp loose won't hurt a bit either. Then slowly refill.
