Hennessy Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 Anyone on here wanna make some cash by repairing an 8ft tank at Redcliffe? Large crack from top to (almost) bottom of front panel. Otherwise can anyone recommend a business they know that does this on location? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simmo2302 Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 better to throw it away and buy a new one. unless done by a professional w/ warranty most insurance companies wont touch you, and if you backyard job it & the worst happens they wont cover you as DIY would void the insurance.

Hennessy Posted October 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 (edited) dont have the glass... tank is in a chiropractors office, so looking for someone who can do the whole job not just silicone in a piece of glass. I.E. go there, measure up, get glass, empty tank, repair tank and reinstall everything when ready. Edited October 25, 2011 by Hennessy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hennessy Posted October 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 Howd you crack it? Curious.... Did it make a mess? Stand aint perfectly level so thats my guess... apparently glass is only 6mm thick too and its like 6ft. Its not leaking yet believe it or not.

Syndicate Posted October 25, 2011 Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 dennison told me it best to pull the whole thing apart and redo the whole tank. this is when i asked him about buying a cracked 7 foot he also said its a major pain in the arse and not to bother Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Posted October 25, 2011 Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 Are you sure the tank damage is not already covered under your insurance policy - glass breakage etc - and therefore you may be entitled to a whole new tank???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
