Hi I picked up a used JBJ 45G tank. The plastic AIO wall is bowing in the center. Almost like the plastic is warped. The center bottom silicone is also opened.
Is there a way to fix this?
 
The opening picture shows the center chamber wrapped in.
The other picture shows how the center bottom is open and the silicone is no longer covering it.

Doubtful. It looks like this tank either had quite warm water in it, or was left out in the sun. I had a similar problem with black eggcrate from my sump. I cleaned and left out in the sun to dry for a few days and it warped quite a bit.

Maybe just remove that plastic section and make this into a regular tank with an external sump?
