Removing plastic centre brace on my 45 gallon tank

[wayner]

I did exactly that 2 years ago, cut out plastic brace on a 65 gallon aga, replaced it with a glass brace, I did it mainly because I heard over time the plastic brace would become brittle due to the heat from the Halides.

Just siliconed the glass brace right in place where the plastic one was.


It worked out great, no issues.


Exactly what steve said is what I did, half inch by 4" wide.
