Is it a glass centerbrace or a plastic piece that's connected to the trim?

The glass centerbrace

Youre gonna need to fix that immidiately, check to see if the glass panells are showing any bowing. Get a bar clamp and tighten it just enough to flatten the bow then re-silicone the brace back in and leave it for at least 24 hours.....

I was hoping you would say it was just plastic since that would be no big deal. Since it is structural then my advise is to take Jim's advise.

I'm almost certain you're going to have to drain the tank to fix this. Is it an aquatrends tank? Same thing happened to mine, and they replaced the tank under warranty. Man did I have to complain to get them to do it, and the tank was only a few months old.
Maybe the re-silicone will do it, but I would not count on it.
