Thank you so much! You saved the day, this totally worked!

Easier than cutting acrylic and gluing it on. Nice!

Thanks so much!! Brace on my tank was broke during unloading it from the truck.

I'm starting to collect materials and figure out how to lift/flip and move around an old 220 gallon aquarium with broken top and bottom plastic frames and build aluminum replacement frames.
My idea is to cut the pieces of flat and angle aluminum, but the angle pieces into corner welding braces and braze weld them at the corners before doing the same with the flat aluminum for cross supports. (Then do it again the same way for the bottom frame.)
What do you think of that plan? I hate to have to do this, but no one will sell me replacement plastic frames in 2024 for a 220 gallon tank because of "liability issues."

Do you make frames or can you send me what I need to build one or what I need to build one.
My tank is a 220 gallon
84 inches long
24 inches deep
24 inches tall.
1/2 is the thickness of the glass.
I will need cross supports also.
My top rim is in good shape I need to replace the bottom but I also want to reseal the outside glass. I will be adding corner trim and seal it as well and I will be Is reinforcing and resealing the inside too.
Thanks

thank you I'm always paranoid with my tanks.

Thank you very much ! This is extremely helpful . The centre brace of my 40 gallon tank broke and I have been looking for a solution. I got an aluminum flat bar from HD but I don’t have a vise . Can I just clamp the bar to the workbench and bend it instead?

My 55 brace just cracked yesterday. It didn't crack all the way through, but i dont trust it now. The tank is properly leveled. it's just crap quality. I was going to do exactly what you showed in the video. The problem is that the aluminum brace won't allow me to open the lids if i were to do this. I will give my fish an upgrade this weekend to minimum a 75 possibly a 90.
