Does anyone have a quick fix for a broken crossbeam on a 55 gallon tank. Its the center support for the dual hoods/light fixtures.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

If it's not shattered, you could use another small piece of plastic one the bottom of the brace, silicone it into place and let it cure for two days.

If it's broken broken, you could try and make something from a new piece of plastic, or you could just break down and purchase a new frame from your LFS.

Try to ask your LFS if they have a new frame for your tank. You can also fix it yourself by adding a piece of plastic & glue it up to the frame with silicone.
