LF glass brace for 90gal tank.

[noisetherapy]

I bought a 90 gal off a forum member a year ago and the top brace was cracked. Didnt notice until later.

Tried a few places to get a replacement black trim to no avail.

JL suggested that I get a piece of glass cut and silicone it into place.

Does anyone have suggestions of how/where to do this in the lower mainland BC?

Cheers.

As JL said, get a piece of glass cut, the width, length of your broken centre piece.
Use silicone glue to marry the two pieces.

I just bought some glue (not a glue if you believe the propaganda) from can tire.
I have not used it yet, so can't give a review. But it is what I would use in your case. Repair the crack with this glue, then repair it again using jL'S suggestion.

Its not so much the center brace, Its the whole top trim should probably be replaced.


I'm thinking eurobrace?

Oh, yes that is different.
Eurobrace would then work for you

Everyone says "glue" but u need to use pure silicone or it will be a wasted effort. Any glass shop can cut what u need. I wouldn't try to remove old euro....that is a painful process. Just "laminate" new and old together.

Siliconing glass to plastic is not a good idea. Doesn't hold up very well.

For sure. It will be glass to glass.

4 strips. 2x 48" in the front and back and 2x on the sides in between.

The question is how wide do they have to be?
