Tank Trim Repair

[TwistedGA]

Hey everyone, I've been doing a lot of searching online for replacement trim for the top and bottom of my 55gal tank. Over the course of it's life it's been in and out of the weather and the plastic has cracked in several areas. It's still holding water perfectly and all the seams on the glass appear to be good.

I haven't been able to find any answers to where one can purchase these types of things, the only sites I found were deadends with nothing listed. Any help woudl be greatly appreciated! Nice site btw, liking it already! *celebrate

Welcome to the site

As far as I know, you can generally buy the trim through your LFS (local fish store), as they can usually get it from the manufacturer/distributor. It would help if you know the tank brand. I don't think I've seen them for sale online.

Is it something that really needs to be in original form or is there a method of creating it on your own? I can only imagine how much pet smart would want for ordering something like that.

I had a simular issue some one pointed me to this site Glasscages.com - Tank Frames

I ended up getting a used one from a small shop here in town, i had to cut mine and make it fit cause i had a terrium so they didn't make the size i needed.

if you can't find a local fish store that can/will order you a replacement frame there's another place online that sells replacement frames Over The Edge- Wholesale Aquarium Tank Frames, Strip Lights, and Iron Stands
