just wondering if anyone has any links, or ways to go about fixing or replacing a bottom brace on an aga 120 rr 48x24x24.
One corner of the plastic is smashed only. the rest is intact.
Or should i not worry about it? Thanks.

I would say not worry about it, but a picture would help.

Bottom brace or bottom trim? Brace doesn't have a 'corner'.

the plastic trim that goes around the bottom corners. same as all the mass manufactured tanks.

sorry i only refered to it as a brace because it is all one molded piece.

the stand had one corner that wasnt flush with the side support and smashed one corner of the trim from underneath. had it filled for a few years like that though.

Contact the manufacturer - they may be able to sell or give you a replacement. Marineland gave me one for my 120.

It was a bit of a pain to get the old one off - lots of broken blades, but it was otherwise an easy switch.

I contacted Aqueon since they are now the makers of these tanks. They don't sell the support frames by themselves. Nor will they be able to get me one since the tank is past warranty. The new aqueon tanks come with lifetime warranties. The AGA only came with a few years. Think i can just prop that corner up somehow. the frame doesnt seem to do much other than keep the glass off the wood.
