Personally I would replace it just to be safe.Looks like 55 gallon tanks are on sale for $67 at petco. Maybe that’s the silver lining...
Leffler817 Double stand or just single?I have a 55 with a broken center brace in the middle, about where your lights are. I created a makeshift brace with JB Weld and metal brackets which lasted for several years. The tank is well over ten years old. My repair lasted for a few years then the frame separated similar to yours. It’s lasted at least two years and has been fine until two weeks ago when I found a puddle under the left corner! There is a slow drip coming from underneath the tank. It’s served me well but I’ve rehomed the fish and not replacing it. Lol I’ll have a metal 55 stand available.
There’s a bright side to everything. Glad you found it and it is an easy transition.Thanks for the advice, everyone. The fish and plants are out of the tank and I’ll be replacing it tomorrow.
I am really glad I caught it before any leaks happened! And this is a great chance to do some new aquascaping.

It has a shelf on the bottom but not enough headroom for a 55. It might fit a 33(?), same length but shorter. I’ll take a measurement.
