DEEPWATER,
I do not want a used tank. Based on the price, the tanks seem to be used. Am I correct?

Thanks.

Since this is an acrylic tank it can be repaired fairly easy and put back into service right away. There are a # of service people that should be able to come over and handle the repair. I would check with Sean to see if he can do this.

 

[FRY]

yes its acrylic

"I have a 90 g reef - octagon shape, acrilyc tank, which is about 11 years old, and today it started leaking"

 

[FRY]

if it was my tank i whould empty it dry the seams with a hair dryer and reglue the seams

I would call Sean at:

Aquatic Creations
16 Powers Street
Brooklyn N.Y. 11211
718-302-9080

and see if he can come over and repair the tank. I'm sure Sean has container to hold the corals well the tank is sealing, which should be fast as arcylic bonds very fast.

If he can't do it there are 2 other places in the area that do maintance type work and they'll be able to repair the tank.

if you are still getting a new tank, yes fishtown delivers

Thank you all very much for all the help.
I'm not able to reach Sean.
I just came from Fishtown, and they have a 100 g acrylic tank in the form of the divider which is 20 X 48 inches. It has a round/curved front. It is $1,200 (including tax) + $80 delivery, but it is beautiful. We have a friend who is a plumber, and he promised to set-up the plumbing.
I am not sure if the tank will look good in my apartment, but I like it.

Now, about repairing my old tank: It is about 90-95 g, and about 11 years old, I don't know exactly (it is a long story). I know that it was custom made. However it came to me with a LOT of scratches, and now it has even more scratches all over. I don't know how much it would cost me to repair it, and I don't know if it is worth it, since it is old and I am afraid that it may develop more problems. But it is beautiful, an octagon shape = 8 walls, and I love it.

What do you think?

Forgot to say, that I also tried to call
http://www.aquariusaquariums.com/,
but they just have a message. I also paged them.

 

[FRY]

do you see the leak does the joint look like its has very small hair lines cracks in the acrylic but not through the acrylic,how munch whould you say the amount of water is leaking

 

[FRY]

i know sean has a guy that polish acrylic thanks

 

[Lana]

I just got a call back from
http://www.aquariusaquariums.com/
It would cost me approximately $500 to reseal the whole tank, and he told me that it newer will be as strong as new. Also, he would not be able to give me a 100% guaranty that it wouldn't leak again soon.

I don't see any damage in the acrylic. The water is leaking at a rate of about 1/4 gallon or less in about 10 - 12 hours.

$500 to repair tank and still has a lot of scratches on it ,i think its a waste of good money on a old use tank, the tank in fish town hope thats with stand and hood is that the one in the store on the right side,
