I wanted to add another reef tank to my collection and recently purchased an AGA 50 gal (36"x18"x18") due to room constraints. I did not realize this tank came with a center brace at only 18" high. I also purchased Outer Orbit's 36" 150W HQI 2 96W PC fixture. Of course, the HQI bulb is positioned directly over the center brace. In order to prevent an awful shadow, I replaced the stock brace with a 1/8" Lexan brace. It is fastened at the ends of the existing brace with Gorilla Glue and by 4 Nylon bolts. Do you think it is structurally sound?
