I'm not sure if it's because of the camera lens or not but does the tank look it's bowing?
I think it would worth a call to the manufacturer on Monday. As for a fix if they can't/won't help would be to be get a couple L brackets and a strip of metal with the line of holes (Sorry, I don't know what it's called, except for I believe it's used to suspend pipes or tubing from the ceiling.)

Hey I talked to my friend last night about your tank. He said that you would be able to use the brace like what he made that I told you about last night when you showed me the tank. Take 2 L brackets and replace the brackets on a cinch strap with the L brackets and then place two pieces of angle iron onto the sides of the tank about 3 foot long 1"x3"x1/8". He said you can get it at lowes or at Weitsmans. and then cinch the whole thing together. Hope that this helps. Thanks again for the frags.

Update.
The Customer Service Rep at Perfecto was very helpful today and just needed to see pictures of the tank and stand that I sent her. They need to speak to the store (closed Mon and Tue) and have the replacement top sent there, but they are replacing it at no cost to me... You would think the manufacturers of a reef-ready tank would have taken into account the effects that specialized lightining would have on the bracing and come up with something that will not deteriorate after exposure....
