reef165 Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 I found a crack in my tank today up in the corner whare the drain/overflow is drilled and although it hasnt leecked, it dose have salt spots on the outside whare the crack is so I would like to replace it. I wouldnt mind getting a new one with a factory overflow in it if someone could tell me whare! otherwise I would like a GOOD used one. Thank you!!

Rick Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 Is it acrylic or glass? If it's acrylic then it is relatively easy to repair as long as the crack isn't in a conspicuous area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reef165 Posted November 7, 2009 Author Share Posted November 7, 2009 Oh, its glass! only way to fix it would be to replace the whole back pain, and it would be a pain! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA2OR Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 Couldn't you glue a piece of Acrylic on the inside and outside to repair it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reef165 Posted November 7, 2009 Author Share Posted November 7, 2009 Gluing acrylic to glass isn't a very reliable fix. and the crack/brake is from left to right on the back glass about 4 inches down and runs about 10 inches to the right and then heads strait up and out so its basically broke, the piece is just held there by the bulkhead and a little silicone from adding the overflow box. Its hard to see and I cant get a pic whare ya can see it otherwise I would. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finch6013 Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 check CL. There has been ALOT of small tanks on there lately. I just got a 20g tall for an ATO reservoir and had quite a few small tanks to choose from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 I see that but at the time it said that the 40b was pending. Is it still for sale? He made a post in another thread last week saying that it was still available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
