Pics of my new 210g tank

[dkelly]

Hi everyone, I've learned a lot from reading posts on the ARC site. Wanted to share some pics of my 210g tank. This one replaces a 130g I had for 4 years that split open about 2 months ago flooding my basement office. Luckily all of the fish, LR and 'shrooms survived.

Here's the "after" picture. The right front joint split open.

Wow, was that an acrylic tank? From where/whom did you get it?

Looks like glass to me... that's a real bummer. The upside to it all is that your new tank looks great!!!

The old tank was glass. I purchased it from a neighbor that moved away. It was probably 7 years old but was in good condition. The caulk seal broke loose. No leaks or other signs of problems before it failed.

D, the old one was a 130, the new one is a 210

You could have told me that you were going to fix it and sell it instead of saying you were keeping it yourself. I would have still give it to you! :doh:

Well, i was going to keep it but decided to keep my 80g instead.
