What would be he best way to repair this? Wood trim all the way around ?? or is there somewhere I can order a new trim for the whole top of tank??
I just read your entire thread about your 150-120 mishaps....REALLY SORRY to hear all that. So Glad to see you bounced back!!

I don't know the answer to that. I would contact the manufacturer and see what they have to say. I would not fill the tank with water until you get a good answer from someone that knows what they are talking about. Just my thoughts.

Looks great. Have a question though, why the 3 holes in the top and not just a solid panel for the tank to rest on? Will it be drilled through the bottom? Structurally not difference, just curious. Bout the only thing I did different was I extended the side panels and the trim beyond the structure 4 inches so I could rest the cabinet up against the wall and have 4 inches of room for piping to go vertical. ran it right up to the top and it attaches to the canopy. Makes it look 'built in' kinda, in a way, if ya look at it at juuuuuuust the right angle kinda thing.. ya know
