I use the pink sheets at home depot that are 1/2" thick.
just one layer will do as if your stand is more than 1/4" out it should be fixed hehe

It cost some $513.34$. That included a 73 gallon tank, three sump holes with bulkhead fittings and a glass lid. . That took me a while to make because all I have is a paper route and I do odd jobs. .

Many thanks to air*force*one for providing a new home to my cichlids.
They would not have survived the night.

Scavanger or Christy. Do either of you know which glass shop in Naniamo does aquariums. I had this same problem 2 years ago when I first bought the tank. Obviously they did not do a very good job, so I'd like to find a better place that can completely tear it down and re build it.

Does anyone have an idea if this is worth it? Or would it be checpaer to just buy another tank?

Thanks.....

Tired and wet....
i was told it is like 20$ for a new peace of glass on a 55g you should go to one of the local glass shops and ask prices there is one right next to my fish tank i think and it is easy to reseal things and my fish tank does it aswell if you do not wanna do it yourself.
