I have a 75 gallon glass tank that has a plastic support that wraps around the perimeter of the tank and a plastic piece that crosses in the middle of the tank. This middle piece helps support the glass tops that came with the tank. This type of support is found on almost every 75 gallon rectangular glass tank I've seen. Anyway, while moving a friend of mine put something on top of the tank and snapped the middle plastic piece in the center. The break is clean and could be easily glued.
Is this a detrimental part for supporting the structure of the tank or is it merely to support the two glass tops? Can I just glue it back together? Perhaps I can cut a piece of acrylic to fit underneath the support and glue it in place to provide more structure?
I have already replace the tank with a new one, but I am wondering what the possibilities are with this one.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Kris
