See the pics I added in the string. He said the crack is in the back so I'm assuming it's the top brace along the back (hopefully that makes sense).
Thanks. I’ll ask for a top pic. And ask what he’s willing to go down to.
That’s exactly what it does! It’s really hard to say without seeing better pictures.. it’s easy to repair the euro brace with a block or something below it basically a patch… what worries me it looks like a bubble in the glue joint where it’s giving away.. this could have happened from a metal halide cooking the plastic with cold water below it or shotty work to begin with.. do you know somebody that works with acrylic or knows how to repair it? If so I’d take them with you and get their opinion… of course we could walk you through it over this forum but I can’t tell you if it’s worth repairing or not without actually seeing it in person..
Thanks for the analysis. This is very helpful. I don’t have anyone who can do the repair and definitely not someone who can go with me. I will probably pass on it and keep looking. I am redoing the floor in the basement and that offers me the opportunity to upgrade. The 90g I have is not conducive to coral in my opinion. I want to get a better setup to do that.
It honestly seems priced kinda high compared to what I’ve seen out here in Vegas.. I’m sure it varies in every area.. but here’s one for example that looks identical besides the stand. It’s still cheaper than you can buy the acrylic for any more thou haha!
This is a Weldon 2 easy repair
I agree
You mean 3 or 4? Never heard of 2… I do acrylic for a living lol.. there’s also 40,42.. you sure could just glue it up but it won’t hold with out blocking on the inside of the tank.. it’s almost impossible to get that cleaned out to glue it up properly, also if you just tried to glue the brace back up there’s a good chance that crack would come back and spread down the back of the tank and ultimately fail without a patch again.. it looks simpler than it really is if you know what you’re doing.
3 - the tiny keyboard on my phone. . let me tell you LOL
If you are interested, we will soon have our annual prototype, training, blemished, cancelled orders sale coming up. These are never used tanks that we have collected the past twelve months for the reasons described. Some are training tanks for new fabricators. Some bubbles in the seams as they learn. Others are prototype/
It may not work. The crack is in the middle of the back. It is behind what appears to be behind the overflow.
I can’t see the video on my phone… I’d say keep looking as there’s lots of deals out there right now.. I’ve seen locally so many people just dumping their systems cause they can’t afford it any more. You said your 90 is a problem you def don’t want another one lol
The problem with the 90 (in my opinion) is the dimensions. It is 63” x 13” x 25”. The depth is a problem getting light down. It’s very narrow front to back so aqua scaping is a problem. I was told by my LFS that it’s a display tank good for fish (tall and long). A 90g is fine it’s really the dimensions. Again that’s in my opinion. I have a 20g Waterbox with an AI Prime and it does great. I have 3 Kessil 360we lights and nothing grows and if it does it’s only orange.
Yeah that’s very narrow! Good for fish like you said.. ideally you want wide and shallow for a reef to get better light distribution.
Definitely interested. How would I review what you have?
