Broken brace on 125

This is my shop tank.  I know that what I should do is replace the braces with a piece of glass but I want to make a fix that will last until business slows down.  My local hardware store didn't have a clamp that will span 20", but I can borrow one from my neighbor.  Would you smart folks suggest using super glue or epoxy to glue the plastic brace?

Keep in mind, too much exposure to water, especially warm water, can compromise the strength of the bond.

Thank you Dennis.  I'll silicone in a piece of glass soon.  Is the Gorilla brand better than the Loctite?  I have the Locktite because it doesn't dry out after one use.  I can get the Gorillia if there's a difference.

The Loctite should work fine, I've used it before...
