Glass Tank Crack :O


slash

Recommended Posts

Ive got a tank of 170cm L x 52cm H x 50cm for free :D!

But the bottom sheet of glass had a crack on it, which was about 62cm by 30cm going diagionally on the top corner of it,

The bottom sheet of glass is 10mm thick.

I rang the repair shop and they said $160 to fix the whole bottom sheet in,

too much for me so i asked them how much it would cost to replace with the sheet i provided, that was $60+gst.

Thats better for me, so now iam in the hunt for a sheet of glassof atleast 10mm thickness, any recommendations?

Or are there other methods of fixing this crack? (I was told that a sheet of glass over the crack well stuck would fix but i am not sure as i asked the repair shop and they said it wouldnt work.

Any help would be great :)!

Thanks

Putting a patch on it may work ok. But, given the size and obvious difficulty of dismantling the tank if it doesn't work with a tank that size I'm going to say just save for a week or two if you need to and get the glass place to replace the whole bottom.
