Glass Replacement

[pkane11384]

Has anyone on the forum ever had to replace glass on their tank? Who did it? The 40 Breeder I bought today has one bulkhead drilled already but I think I want to go a different route for my returns and overflow. Thanks

I think it would be much cheaper and safer to just buy other 40 when on sale at Petco. Usually every other month they have $1 gal sale so cost you $40 dollars. Time you add the silicone and glass. Better off with new tank. Or you can place bulk head in drill hole and you can cap both ends.

You may be better off, capping that bulkhead, rather than replacing the panel.

Alfie, how would I go about that? I want to do dual returns and a herbie style overflow. That's the only reason I was considering replacing the panel

you can silicone a piece of glass over the hole from inside tank.

Thats all that it takes? Dang. I thought it would be a little more than that. Do you think if I drilled the tank again it would affect the stability?

not sure but you see single panels with multiple holes all the time.
