If you are saying the silicone that is sealing the tank is still sticky, take everything out of the tank and let it dry.

Ohhhh k
Then make sure that all the old silicone for the brace is gone. and get a new brace cut, same size as the old and silicone it in again. Make sure the part where the brace is going in is dry and clean. You could put some alcohol on a cloth and wipe that area well.
Then let it completly dry for a week

What part of town are you in? I have a 33gallon you could borrow to get you by for the next week or two until you can get your tank fixed.
