Cracked center brace
Does anyone know how to fix a cracked center plastic brace or a 90g or where to get replacement trim?
|
I'm assuming the center brace is made of black plastic.
Take another piece of plastic, lay on top, covering the crack. Drill 4 holes, 2 on each side. Install 4 plastic screws with plastic nuts. Drill the holes the exact size of the screws. This all assumes you don't have a space between the crack, and the crack is in the middle or at least not against the edge. Plastic screws are available, here in the lower maineland at HD |
yes it's the black plastic center piece. Its only cracked on one side (not all the way through) and in the middle of the brace.
What kid of plastic would I get? should i silicone it down first? |
Talk to Concept Aquariums in Calgary. They can probably send you a replacement frame.

Silicone does not stick very well at all to plastic, so you do not want to use that.
Indusrial plastics here would have what you need. I'm not sure where to go where you are |
We do have 90g plastic trim. To replace it you would have to primer the plastic first before adding silicone. We can do that for you also. Primer it that is.

I found a pic from Vancouver Reefer that is self explanatory for your center brace. This is what I have been trying to say.

I can't comment on LEDs, no experience.
