240 project tank

[mfinn]

I am going to be replacing my 240 I have now due to a leak.
I'm not even going to try and fix it.
I am looking for someone that wants this tank with the knowledge that it probably needs to be completely resealed.

I'm hoping my new tank will be ready in about 3 weeks, so I am going to try and get this one emptied in 2 weeks.

It was originally from Glasscages and setup in August 2006.

The build thread is in my signature.

[mfinn]

No, I guess I screwed up.
Needed it in the equipment for sale forum

 

[IPisces]

I am not in the market for a big tank but in the old days, would buy leaky tanks and add a nice bead of silicone after a VERY thorough job of cleaning. Never failed again. Could even add glass strips to the corners if desired extra reinforcement.

My thoughts on it now that I have seen the place where the leak is coming from are,
since the leak is coming from a spot where the front pane of glass sits on the bottom pane of glass, that seam is compromised in a way that it would have to be taken apart to be resealed.
I don't think this tank can just be resealed, by putting in new corner beads of silicone.
If you still want this tank Carlos, knowing that, it's yours. I only ask you help move it out and my new one in.
You may want to get a quote from someone like OBD to see what they would charge to reseal it.
They are making the new one for me.

My thoughts now are it would make a really nice reptile tank or some other application.

It may come down to me recycling the glass at the recycling center.

Ok, Marty thanks for the info, I will ask OBD for a quote, probably tomorrow and will let you know, how expensive are those tanks new ?
