Just bought a tank 72" x 18.5" x 20.5"

and metal stand for it for $80 bucks.

Need to replace the plastic trim. Any ideas where I can get it?

I thought glasscages.com sells them but I could not find them on their website.
 
These are when I just got it home and unloaded it and took of the broken trim.

These are after I cleaned it up a bit and took off a bunch of the silicone.

Hope you checked if it held water...that right corner looks iffy...:confused:

Yup I did. was the first thing I did. I filled it up and drained it completely twice sloshed water in it when it was more than half full. Did not leak at all.

The corner looks bad in the picture but it is really not that bad.

And I mean I bought the tank and the stand for $80. Both things cost me $80 the guy originally wanted 140.

I could not pass it up.

I am going to reseal it with black silicone more than likely but I feel I got a pretty good deal.

Yeah the guys was very honest and upfront about everything. He also had 10 other tanks setup of varying sizes but only Saltwater tanks.

I could not pass up a tank/stand combo for 80 bucks even if it was bad I would have replaced the bottom glass.
 
by the way fishmamma by the dimensions would you call this tank a 115 or a 120?
