well seeing your going to be that close you will haveto take the wife to see the mall of america and i will take you over to see energys big 1700 g tank. its about 10 miles from the mall of america. lol
also i bet you will become fast friends with the guy (link below) who own this tank. he is a reef addict just like you are. im sure he might be able to give us a hand building your tank back up again. he will be 10 mins from your house. he is going to take his tank down and install a bigger tank in its place. we will need some help installing it. hint hint hint. then we can go over to your house and rebuild your glass tank. you will need some fine steel wool, clean cotton rags, acetone, new can of crisco, 100 count of razor blades, and a bunch of bar clamps with protective plastic covers on them. the rest we can make due as we go. if you need some special pieces of glass cut i have a friend who works at a glass place and i can see if he will cut some pieces for us to reinforce the top with. i think a double layer of glass would really help to reinforce the bond in the corners and give the tank the added security it needs.
do you have an extra reinforcment strip around the bottom of the tank?
it would look like this...
you can see the reinforcement strip around the bottom of the tank to make a double layer so the silicone has twice as much bonding area. the top is made the same way on this tank.
this would really help your tank to be alot stronger and less likely to burst again. twice as strong as a single layer of glass is.
p.s. just make sure you have a bottle of captain on hand. ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
