Aquarium trim

[zaozao]

Did a search on the internet a couldnt find anywhere to purchase the top trim for a 72 gallon bowfront. Does anyone know of an online source for trim?

Thanks

If it is an off the shelf tank, I'd go to the manufacturer. When I got my first tank in 96, I hated the cross bracing. I figured I could just cut it and be fine (and did so with water in the tank). It immediately bowed out a little less than an inch, so I contacted Perfecto to get a new trim piece. It's been a while, but I'd think they still offer replacements like that?

I talked with someone that deals in perfecto and they said the tank I am repairing is not a perfecto. They suggested talking with AGA/ oceanic. Can't seem to find a number for either of those. I did find out thru talking with someone about this that aga and oceanic had been bought by Aqueon anyhow tried calling them and got voice mail. Will try again tomorrow.

Did you find a source for the trim?

A couple, but one guy wasn't comfortable shipping it from New Jersey and a place in Mobile with a 4-8 week wait time. The guy I'm replacing it for has found one local that will take at least 3 weeks to get in, waiting on that one now.
CT you know a source that can get it sooner than that?
