New aquarium, needs some repairs

coryjac0b · 11-08-2005, 04:28 PM

Well over the weekend i picked up an aquarium from a friend of mine that needs a lil work. The trim around the top was origanally made of wood, and the aquariums was origanally in someones wall, the front glass is about 1/2 inch thick, and the sides are about 1/4 inch thick. The trim around the bottom is fine, but the trim around the top is actually missing one side piece, and falling off in a nother place, and i was wondering if anyone has ideas to go about repairing the trim, or maybe a company that sells replacement trim. The dimensions are: 42x19.5x19. the guy i got it from says 75g. Any thoughts or ideas would be much appreciated.
