Is it essential i have it fixed? hypotheticaly, have you got a straight edge to place against the front of the tank to see if the panel is bowed? & hypotheticaly, how thick is the glass?

Joshlikesfish Posted July 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2010 This is hypothetically me trying to fulfill my discus dream as cheap as possible. And hypothetically, this tank is on an auction currently at a price a teenager can afford. And hypothetically the owner has a broken brace. So hypothetically i cannot access the tank till purchase Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smidey Posted July 25, 2010 Report Share Posted July 25, 2010 it should be a simple & cheap task to get a new brace & siliconing it on is also straight forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix44 Posted July 25, 2010 Report Share Posted July 25, 2010 And hypothetically the owner has a broken brace. No, it is either broken or not. hypothetically it could break. hypothetically speaking i could arrange for that :lol: And hypothetically, this tank is on an auction currently at a price a teenager can afford so its not on trademe? braces are pretty easy to fix. not hypothetically, really.

oneeyedfrog Posted July 25, 2010 Report Share Posted July 25, 2010 I would fix it. It's not expensive to do and is easy. I had a 110cm x 38 x38 cm in 6mm glass . The centre brace broke and it bowed. So unless this tank has thicker glass I would assume this one probably would as its higher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshlikesfish Posted July 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 Hi, the end walls are approx 1cm thick, sides and top are around 6mm. The bottom is reinforced with extra glass. It's a really solid sturdy tank... weighs a ton. The only reason the top got broken is my husband dropped a hammer on it from a height accidentally while it was in our garage! Hypothetically speaking that is the reply to the question. Hypothetically speaking I will put as much into obtaining this tank as I can. I will get it fixed too =] On another note, I have for sale a 60-30-38 tank. $25. A unicycle. And possibly other stuff I can find ^^ A piece of glass 45 wide for the brace wouldn't cost more then $15 right? :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
