If the center brace would break all the way through it could cause the tank to bow. Bowing could result in tank failure with a pane of glass breaking it seal. You could probably rig a piece of acrylic to help out the top but why risk it.
Even 55 gallons is a lot of water to let go. Had a 55g fresh water tank break and boy did it make a mess.....If your planning on keeping it long term I would get a new tank or look for a deal on a used one maybe thats not all cracked. You may even be able to acquire new braces and rebuild the one you have but how much $$ and time will that take???
