Post Posted: Mon Sep 17, 2007 7:15 pm   tank question

i found a 60gal tank on craigslist that i want to use for a temporary tank until we get the pond done(if i ever start :roll: ) but it says that the center brace is cracked so i was wondering if i can just glue it, replace it or if i should even bother buying it. But i hope to get some more info and pics tonight of the tank wish me luck.

The center brace---is that for the stand?

Good luck.

Just ask him. Hopefully he'll be forthcoming and helpful.

Center brace to me means a brace across center of the top of the tank to support it when full of water, which will want to bow the glass. I don't believe that is glueable. But, you could make a new brace that stretches across the top and hangs over both sides to support it.
