DIY Question

Im replacing a side on my tank and I need to know what kind of epoxy would be the best for this. Also, my tank is 72 in by 24 in x 24 in. Can you tell me how many gallons it will hold. 1/2 in glass

i think thats a 210 gallon but im not sure

 

[puffcrusader696]

err no i think its a 180 gallon cuz a 210 is 8x2x2 and thats 7x2x2

How can I find out for sure. When I bought it, the woman told me it was 200 gallon and that it was 84 x 24 x 24. And she lied its actually 72.

8x2x2 is a 240 that tank is a 180

To calculate tank volume http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/calc.php

If your tank is glass only, use 100% silicone, not epoxy, to replace the panel.

Where can I get this stuff? And do you know an exact name?

It is just window and door silicone found at any Lowes, Menards, or Home Depot

Just make sure it does not have any anti-mildew chemicals in it.
