    or you could just buy a new brace and silicone it on.then you don't have to upgrade when your moving anyway.i mean upgrading now means more work to move.if you replace the brace you don't have to remove everything from the tank,just a little water.

    when i said try a 150, i meant the same thing happened on my 150. if you think a 55 bows, try coming home to a 150 thats bowing. the long sides were 8" away from where they should have been. the other thing you can do is call the manufacturer and puchase a new molding or find a local aquarium store that can get it for you.

    I'd probably need a change of pants if I came home to that.

    yea it was interesting considering the tank was packed with sps's, i put a come along on the top of the tank and screwed it back together till i put on the aluminum bracing.
