    I was finally ready to add water to my tank this evening when I noticed my 40 breeder has no center brace (yeah, after this whole build I just now noticed). Is this a big deal? If so could I make my own?

    Is the tank a rimless one? Or is there an outside frame?

    That is normal for 40 breeders, you should have no problems.

    I am using one as my sump. All of them I have seen for sale did not have a brace.
