The bad brace is on the 120 Long, not the sump so it's a little harder to get a new tank. You can see in my pics it came with a white steel support brace that I put on top to keep it from flexing, it worked well.
I did epoxy the plastic though tonight but don't think I'll ever trust it 100% as you said lol.
epoxy on the plastic tank brace and the white steel reinforcement one (soon to be painted black as well)
Wow, I'm really blind. Wasn't that long ago that I saw Jeremy's tank, and never even noticed this brace.:Yikes:You'll be fine. The guy I got the tank from had it running that way for a couple of years. This is Jerl77s old tank everyone!
That's jerl77 old tank. Its a 125gal. If your worried about the top brace then just replace the entire top rim.
Steve, I had the same tank once upon a time, and it is definitely 120 gallon tank. As to your sump; Would you consider running it on the side of the stand? Perhaps you can build a short stand to sit it on. That is if you have enough room to do so.
Look into how to build pod condos to move around from DT's instead of moving rock work , if you wait until later I'll explain them after I get out of work

Yeah that would be great... would they go in the DT or the refugium?
Still trying to decide if I should plumb the smaller side tank into the main tank or not. Would a hang on back overflow work on a 20g??
well you should have a few built so you could cycle through them put them in the fuge a few weeks to populate pods in them then move to DT and rotate them in and out of fuge to keep a healthy population....a hob would work but i always recommend a reef ready tank over a HOB overflow...as for the small tank...the more volume the better
