Aquarium Trim

[armthehomeless]

I recently obtained a rather large aquarium... with one major problem: the trim on part of the bottom is missing. I'm not much of a DIYer, but am very willing to learn.

Should I try to find some trim to replace it? Should I just take it all off, and set the large aquarium ontop of a thin layer of styrofoam? I'd cover that up with trim) Should I do something completely different?Thoughts ?

trim is only to hide the glue between the glass. So it's a half empty/ half full decision.

So take the rest off then?

I agree...take off the old trim, use the styrofoam, and get some cool moulding or trim from Lowe's or Home Depot...what are ya gonna put in the tank?

Looks like your better half is breaking down a little at a time! 5 years you probably will be back up to 10-12 tanks. we're rooting for you!

Fiona is thinking ( I bet) she got the new house so its time to give in a bit on the fish tanks.
So Tim spent $300,000.00 to get a few more tanks. Well worth it.

Oh back to subject trim is like delock said only to hide the glue

Naah.. I have a feeling Tim will be cutting back on the number of tanks.. except each of his last "few" tanks will all be monster tanks :)

Same thing I am working on... Getting rid of the small stuff and get bigger longer tanks

Nothing new... probably guppies.

I'm up to 6 now... but will have to go down to five once this tank gets set up. I don't want to do too many tanks on the upper levels of the house.
