RE-sealing 55g tank on one side

so heres how it goes aqueon wont refund my 55$ for my tank that is 2 monthes old but i thought i could re-seal it till my dad seen i had took the top rim off and broke it in the proccess...... will my 55g be fine wfilled with water without the top rim....... also i will re-seal it very well i just dont want the tank to bow....

my 55gal bows with a broken center brace. better safe than sorry.

The brace was there for a reason. Manufactures do make braceless tanks but they are thicker glass. Rig up a brace if you can live with it. Or have (or try to) complete confidence by buying a new one.

Sorry this fluke happened to be on you

:/ oh well any1 need a cheapp really cheap rep tasnk?

You can make your own bracing out of glass and silicone it in place. Look up the term "euro-bracing" and you can get some ideas on how to do it. You can also order a new frame, try a company like glasscages.com. By the time you buy the caulk, the glass or frame, it will be cheaper and easier to just get another tank.

You can also buy new braces at glasscages.com if you're so inclined.
