Allie Posted March 22, 2009 Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 We were given 3 tanks for free but the top rims are cracked on all of them. Can you buy replacement parts (and where)? They are 38, 48, and 72 gallons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkangel Posted March 22, 2009 Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 The trim on a tank IMO is just for looks. Aquarium illusions or Concept aquariums has the trim, They carry top & bottom trim, All you need is a good mitre saw with a sharp finishing blade, tape measure, and silicone. Can't remember how much per foot, but to do those 3 tanks it may be pricey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvision Posted March 22, 2009 Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 Yes, darkangel is right, they are just for show. Trim on tanks has no structural value, and I end up pulling it off many tanks that I have once it cracks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parachromis1 Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 do you have pictures of the trim? some older hagen tanks have floating glass bottoms Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Chicklets Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 If the upper trim has a center brace, it is there for support on tanks with thinner glass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
