is the center brace glass? Or are you talking about trim with a plastic center brace?

the trim with the plastic center brace.
55 gals grow ALOT in the middle when that breaks
theres no fixing it besides replacing the whole thing.
the plastic is torn up too much to begin with.
the steel one i made up quick is holding it just fine, but i worry about the saltwater rusting it up over time and rust falling into the tank. And it doesnt look all that great on there.
