Sourced a used 75 gallon tank and it has one of those junky acrylic box cornerflows. I'm going to resilicone the entire tank, and I'd like to find a round shaped cornerflow. I know theres a couple brand tanks out there with them, but no companies seem willing to sell them seperatly or even as a replacement. Any recomendations? Been watching for broken tanks FS, etc, no luck thus far, any recomendations?
 
Talk to your LFS, they can usually order stuff like that from the distributor. I have gotten trim panels a few times, just have to wait till they get thier next shipment though.
 
If the tank holds water, resealing it would involve a total tear down and reassembly to be done properly. Doing so on a 75g tank is more trouble than its worth given how cheap a 75g tank is. The tank is going to be one of the least expensive parts of the setup.

If the tank leaks, just replacing the inner bead of silicone is asking for leaks down the road as a leak indicates the structural seal is bad and you are back to the above in order to repair it.

I think you would be better off finding a tank that has everything you are after rather than trying to patch something that doesn't work. JMO.
