Doc_Polit Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 Well....I just scored a reef ready 180 gallon with a cracked rear pane for free. Now I just have to decide whether I simply replace the broken pane or tear it down and use the front pane for a DIY plywood & glass. Things that make you go hmmmm. :shifty: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkangel Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 Don't know if it would be cheaper, but it might be easier to just replace the back pane. If the bottom pane is in good shape you could tear it down and build 2 plywood & glass tanks. Personally I would replace the back pane, but I'ts your choice.

Sam Chicklets Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 You should be able to get the pane for around $100, it will be considerably more for the plywood tank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snaggle Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 I vote ply wood tank, a 180 can turn to a 300 plus once yopu do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hemi Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 Hard choice Doc I'd go plywood if cost isn't an issue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
