I have a 240 gallon tank that the front piece of glass broke. I called LFS a they priced a new aquarium and it was more than it would cost me to replace the stand and tank combined. Does anyone know how to fix it or any one that can fix it?
whats that gonna do ? does that help? im just curiousbrcacti;1753237; said:Did you have styrofoam between the aquarium and stand????????????????????????????????????????/
No stand or tank frame is perfectly flat. Not being perfectly flat will cause more pressure in certain spots. The foam will help even out any small irregularities in the top of your stand or tank frame. These small irregularities will over time stress your seals and cause a failure. It keeps the pressure even on the entire bottom of your tank. I use 1/2" Dow Insulation foam. Lowes or Home Depot sells it in 4x8 sheets like plywood for around $20 or less. You can also go thicker if you have a super big tank.cichlids _killer;1753879; said:whats that gonna do ? does that help? im just curious
