Tank repair

[ohmedic]

I just aquired a used 90 gallon tank and the bottom trim panel cracked and fell off is there any way to replace this or can I just simply use epoxy to put it back on? Is it even needed?

Thanks

You should put it back on. that helps support the tank. I cleaned my 55 real good and used silicone to put it back on. try to get it as clean as you can. I never had a problem with it comming back off after i put it back on.

after doing much research on the web, found a place that sells the trim/frame for tanks.

I didnt know you needed a new one. I think joel (aquarium etc)can order. You can check with him.

You might confirm that glass cages is selling the type of frame you are looking for.  I've seen GC tanks before and their "trim" is just a black L shaped piece of plastic they cut, bend around the corners, and silicone on.  Not at all like a rigid one piece AGA trim that would actually ship as a 48" x 18" piece.

I'll check into that and see what they have to say as far as what kind of trim/frame it is. and I would rather buy from a local shop than internet anyway.
