Pontus Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 In the 90's I built several acrylic frag tanks and sumps. I have been running one of the frag tanks and it started leaking last week. I pulled it from the system and repaired it. It still leaks. I am leaving for a week on December 20th and needed to get something quick. I ordered online 1/4 in. glass from Peninsula Glass in Vancouver. I live in The Dalles and my local glass shop wanted $112 vs. the $60 from Peninsula. I picked up the glass Thursday and with one tube of silicon and a bulkhead fitting I already had, I have my replacement 24 gal. frag tank. If you look at the tank on the left in the picture below, it is my remote DSB and it over flows into the frag tank, and the frag tank drains to the sump. I cut up a trash can and put a drain on it to substitute for the old tank until I got this one ready. The trash can is starting to bow out a little. The new tank will go in tomorrow. I want if fully cured. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pledosophy Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Nice work. I woulda thought even on a 24g you would need sometype of bracing with 1/4" glass. I wish you the best of luck on the water test. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
