The deal is for the tank, sump, light, and heaters... It does have tops. He was nice enough to send me a couple videos showing the seams of the front left and right side.

I have read that using Weldon 40 on the seams can possibly weaken the seam? I wish I could find a YouTube video of someone fixing seams of an acrylic tank using Weldon 40...

Here are the videos:

I am located west side of Michigan. That is a very good price for a tank of that size but sadly it's not the dimensions I want.

1400 for a 300g used tank is way too much anyway. Offer half if it’s got tops and a stand. And re glue it. It’s not a bad job

Tell that to the nyc/no ppl on this forum selling used acrylic tanks for over a grand

I offered him half... I said think about it... he quickly responded "Thought about it, no"

I wasn't comfortable with a bunch of things regarding that tank... half inch thickness just doesn't seem like proper thickness for a 300 gallon tank.

I am just going to buy a new tank for peace of mind and get 3/4 inch thickness for the walls.

I've been looking around and received a couple quotes... I would love to find a reputable company that is within a few hours driving distance of Grand Rapids Michigan that has fair pricing... any recommendations?

Let him stew on it awhile I'll bet they come down some at least.

To my knowledge there is no indication of weldon 40 making seams weaker. They make them far stronger. Think you May be referring to weldon 16.

Try contacting Steve at http://www.aquaticasuperstore.com/, as he builds tanks at his store. It’s worth a trip to his store if you’re in the area.
