WB: Perfecto 37 gallon column

[rosebud161616]

I cracked my tank straight down the back today. Go me. At least I had just started cycling so no livestock.

And yes, Perfecto is no more so the only way to find this tank is used.

I need an undrilled version since I built a rock wall and am using a glass holes overflow. I will need to be able to drill my own holes in the right places.

Enjoy a pic of before I killed the tank. :thumbdown:

No tank for ya, but wanted to say I like your rockwork. How easy was it to do?

 

[rosebud161616]

Not tough at all. It take a few days to do it, but it's not hard.

Actually from what I've heard, Perfecto is still really operational. If you call Marineland, they even list a different number and tell you they're forwarding you to their perfecto tank division.

Not sure how soon you need it, but it's still listed under specialty tanks:

OOOoooo good looking out! There is someone in Cinci with an undrilled version for $50, so that looks good. But if that doesn't work out I'll be in talks with Marineland. Thanks!

Well Aquarium Adventure (not normally my first choice) was the first one to have it together and know exactly how long it would take and how much it would cost. I ran over there and they actually had one on the floor that I was able to buy and I have my tank running again!

Thanks for the help!

BUT do you know why it cracked in the first place so it doesn't happen again on this tank????

 

[RokleM]

You can't argue that AA does tanks, and does it well price wise... that is for sure!

Haha yes I know very well why this tank cracked. It would be because of my own stupidity. Too much pressure on the bulkhead. But now I know just how much pressure a hole in this thickness of glass can take!
