We plan on dumping every few days and riding out the winter. The dealer I bought it from is right on our way home, so planning on dropping it off there in April to be fixed or replaced. If it’s just the edge broke loose I’m thinking it can be fixed. There is already two angle iron braces, but seeing how it sagged with the bottom off, I plan on adding one or two more angle irons to the mix. Seeing this setup I believe more is better. Thanks for all your inputs.

Those braces do nothing for the tanks as they are installed, more there to hold up the coroplast. There needs to be blocking between the braces and the bottom of the tanks so the braces will actually support the bottom of the tanks.
