Oh Lordy! Definitely not a good way to start a Friday. At least you got it emptied before it completely broke (I assume anyways).

Ya I guess I didnt really consider that option! Do you just get the glass from an aquarium builder, such as Dave at Concept?

Ya got pretty lucky! 80 gallonsish of water on the floor of a 4th story apartment would have been real bad news..

Many places to get glass, aquarium builders is definitely one of them provided they are willing. Dave is probably a good option although I obviously can't speak for him but he's helped me out with some loose glass here and there. Might be someone in Edmonton as well, best to ask around.

Just looking at the latest pics, did you have foam under the tank or just wood?

Check with Neal at NWGP for the glass he will hook you up.
