rubbermaid!

 

[duke62]

i have nothing like that.right now the tank is half way filled i was hoping that since its behind overflow it wouldnt burst

can u take a couple of pics for a visual to get an idea of where the crack is

 

[ireefny]

James, I have a 30 with a stand if you need it

 

[duke62]

here

the crack starts from center of bulk head and goes 5 in to edge of tank in a semi circle

Better to go with a another tank. Don take risk... Good luck

 

[ecvernon]

best bet is find a store and get a rubbermaid

:Yikes:what!

omg james...sorry to hear that bro..
dont you still have the 30g?

 

[duke62]

i just put everything in my old tank.i had put it all in the garage and had to take it all back out.im tired and cranky and just pisseed off.my livestock is probably going to go in shock from all of this.i hope i can find a 50 gallon rr tamk so i can redo it all tomorrow.anyone know where i can get 1 for a descent price.im pretty much tapped from this upgrade.id hate to have to wait 2 days to get this overflow siliconed back in.man im tired

 

[D1J8Z]

unfortunatly no LFS in this area is going to have what you are looking for as it will be considered a special order

you will have a better chance finding a 40 breeder not drilled best bet order exactly what you want sit and wait livestock should be fine altho I dont know exactly what you did

my 2 cents

 

[Breakin Newz]

40breeder ftw! That is what I have..

 

[KathyC]

Not many 50g breeders around. You should be able to order one from Petland Discounts (they do have the best prices around on AGA tanks) I would think the latest they'd have it would be Monday as most of their tanks are locally stocked in a warehouse and get to the store in just a few days. You could try Pets Warehouse, but you'd probably pay a good deal more there.

 

[autoponicz]

yep petland is the place.....or you can consider a oceanic 58g RR which will fit the stand also....

good luck...sorry to hear again bro..
