what to do with a 55?

are u running a filter?

Yes, there was a Filstar canister in that tank, but you could as easily filter it with a sponge filter & airline or submersible power filter.

hydro is right! 55s make amazing ripariums like that.

Please do that and take 10,000 photos for us to live vicariously though you.

I agree. A riparium is the best option for a 55g tank with a broken top brace.

If the brace is just broken you can try getting a piece of plexi and use nylon screws to repair the brace. If it's gone you could get a piece of glass cut to size and silicone it front to back as a new brace. That's the 2 ideas I will be using on my 30 I broke the brace on.

Drill a hole on each end of the broken brace piece that's still attached to the frame and run a large zip-tie between them. Tighten and you're done.

or you could replace the top with a 48x12 $12 dollar frame from this place?
