FS: Shattered Red Sea Reefer 250

[Daniel.luu]

Just wondering how much would it cost to replace the back panel and overflow box

 

[sante210]

Is anyone interested in this tank?

I picked it up but I picked up another tank so my plans have changed.

The broken glass has already been removed

Pick up in Discovery Bay.

What's the size of the glass needed?

35 1/2" x 21"
1/2" thick

 

[marioensf]

Well, I have a piece if glass that can fit the tank but has to be cut to those dimensions. I just have to confirm the thickness but I belive it is 1/2"
So if there's a brave soul that wants to take this challenge ...

Great project for someone. I wonder if you could just silicone black plexiglass as a back wall instead.

Plexiglass won’t work, the whole tank has to come apart; in its current state if you silicone the missing glass piece, a leak most likely will develop at the corners since silicone does not bond to the already cured silicone

 

[marioensf]

... as added note, since it’s the back glass, could be just a regular piece of glas, just seamed. I believe removing the plastic flange at the bottom will allow for regular bulkheads to be used for plumbing.
I would pick the “partiall tank but am busy, very busy; have four ongoing projects and I just picked up another one, small but still one more...

I've made a few tanks from scratch and this is a seriously easy job guys. If I was closer I'd grab the tank just to fix and sell.

While your at it, cut some more glass for eurobracing. Makes it stronger and easier to clean with glass mag.

There's a couple other people interested but it's whom ever can pick it up first.

I'm available after 5 on weekdays and all depends on the weekend but usually around in the morning.

I can also leave it outside anytime.

Oh if I was younger, and had time/desire to deal with fun little projects like this I might try a PVC back material. But I'm not and I don't. So good luck with whomever gets it this is basically an upsized versions of the 40 gallon breeder (and a lot nicer)

Good to see it went to another good home. lol

Good luck to whoever picked it up. Post pics of the progress. It'll be interesting to see how it turns out.

Just rejected my delivery. Had holes in the box the tank was in. Something must have hit it hard in order to make that hole. Did not want to take a chance with a compromised tank. The stand box was also ripped. How is the freight company so careless?

Now I'm set back another 2 weeks. May have to go in a different direction.
