Thanks in advance for any advice or hints that can be sent my way. I have a 55 gallon salt/reef tank that is my pride and joy. Tank is 4 years old and everything is doing well. Combo of soft/hard corals, clown, gobies, shrimp etc.
There's a plastic top on the tank with a middle support bar. I recently noticed the middle support bar is cracked 1/2 way across. As I look at my tank through the hood, I can see the middle is very slightly bowed out further than the sides. I put a bead of silicone in the crack, is that strong enough?
What's the best thing for me to do? Buy a whole new tank and slowly move everything over. I really want to keep the tank in the same location since it has a cabinet and hood. Is this fixable?
Any ideas would be welcome. Not sure what to do. LFS is trying to sell me a new tank and maybe that's my only option.
Thanks much,
CarolD
