Anyone know where to get black plastic trim for tank perimeters? Seastar charges something like 30 cents per inch!!

Steve, Rona sells window mouldings. They may not match the stock trim but sometimes they have stuff that would look really neat as trimming on a tank.

Props, I use GE 100% silcon or GE marine silcon from Rona with no problems.

OMG,

I just turned down about 200' of it for free a month ago, when a local tank builder went out of buisness.

DOH ! :frown:

If it's a standard size tank the manufacturer should be willing to send a replacement, and the one time I got one for my 77 it was free (or at least they said 0.00 for MSRP - perhaps the actual invoice had a fee on it). I've got a couple from Hagen in the past for myself and customers and I know of a couple RCers that have done the same with AGA.

My tank is a seastar, they won't provide any replacement parts for free.

Ill look into it.
