[bigbyrd85]

I was removing some rock out of my tank when the rock broke. i busted my center brace on my 125. So i looking for some advise on what to do to fix the tank.

HELP PLEASE..

Get a cabinet clamp to keep pull the two sides back together, this will at least give you time to fix it.

I have the bottom glass from a 55 you can have.
cut it up and make a brace, but not sure if it's tempered, i don't think it would be on a 55.

maybe use a couple. or use a few 2x4 to create a brace. Take some water out to take some pressure off...

Heres what I would do...
Get a piece of glass that is the size of the brace and silicone them together. get some clamps. This will at least buy you some time if you decide to get another tank. I dont think it would be a big issue, but getting another tank will give you the piece of mind :/

It shouldnt bust on you, but you never know. I've seen 150gal aquarium with a cracked center brace (full of water for over a year) without any problem, but not everything is built the same...

hope that helps. Again, thats what I would do...

Like Pete said, get a cabinet clamp until you figure out what you are going to do. You can get these cheep at Harbor Freight.
Good luck!
