I came home to my 75G tank that's cycling to find a glass middle bracing fell inside. This is a Frankenstein setup from garage mats (previous builds! Spring Cleaning = new tankage!)
Its a glass tank w/ a rim. The bracing is a 3/4 in glass pane that was fixed on the underside of the rim w/ silicone. All of the panels are inside the rim. I question as to whether it was actually adding any structural support at all. I understand the structure support w/ those rimmed tanks and the brace is actually apart of the rim itself, but that isn't the case here.
Should I be concerned? Ticking Time bomb?
Should I try to put it back on?
Picture of the brace sitting on top of the rim for good order.
