My current tank which is 110g tall is bowing and the top center brace broke. Ideally looking for 90g RR (48x18x24). Will also consider a 120g RR (48x24x24). Looking to buy ASAP like now but for a good price. PM or email me @ [email protected]

Thanks

Looked like it happened over a month or two. I noticed a week ago that the front portion of the center brace where it makes a tee was soo stretched that the plastic brace started to rip. Eventually broke within a week. The front is bowing because I looked at it from the top from one end to the other and I there was clearly a bow. I think this happens over time because it's a TALL tank and with all the water, you probably need a stronger material brace than plastic.

I am sort of deciding between a 75g & a 90g.

If your tank is still full with water i think you should take some out to reduce the force on the glass it will eventually brake from the pressure. Look for feathers in the side of the glass.Thanks for sharing your experience i hope you find one soon.
