What happened?

Wow i couldnt imagine. At least you got the rubber maids going. Just make sure heater and flow are working. Good luck with the rebuild

Glad to hear you have a spare tank, Are you going to reseal the 150?

I pray all goes well with the transfer.

I pulled my 150 apart and took the panes to a large glass shop that makes shower doors. I had them trim 2" off the top of each pane and used the scrap as eurobracing. They polished the edges to a mirror finish. Cost about $60 including the silicone to put it all back together. It is now my sump but it could also make a cool display.
