Just purchased an acrylic tank that has 3 holes on the bottom patched up w/ thick acrylic square pieces and glued w/ weld-on 16.

It looks strong and water tight but just making sure if this will hold up?

its an 80-85G wide tank btw.
 
shouldnt be a problem
 
anyone else with this simila rexperience or thoughts?

wanted to make sure before i invest in a stand. thanks
 
I personally would have used bulkheads, but that's just me :)
 
I got 3 bottom hole drill on my 265 acrylic tank also, I patch it with 1/2"acryclic square with weld on #16, been over a years no leak, gl with you.
 
thanks everyone for the quick response. i'll give this tank a shot. dimensions were too good to pass up.
