Hey all, I recently got this third hand 8ft acrylic tank from a fellow reefer who will be moving. He had it for a few years no water and inside and warm.
Tank info: 8ftx30"x22"
Side walls 1/2" acrylic, top is 3/8ths
Theres some TLC that needs to go into it and I have never worked with acrylic before so i wanna get some opinions on how to best approach this!
There is roughly 5 extra drilled holes in this beast... and a few of these holes were cut very poorly and in my excitement of getting a heck of a deal on this I did not not notice how rough they were
the fellow reefer said he only drilled the ones in the bottom of the overflow, as the ones in the side were from the first owner.
His original plan was to place bulkheads and then just plug them up. I was gonna follow suit but i noticed a few of these holes are damaged/surface cracked. So i was wondering if it would be better to get some new acrylic and weld over the poorly drilled holes?
The attached pictures are the tank
