Aquarium Advice Addict
I got a couple tanks from a aquarium group member for free that I'm going to try to fix. There's no broken glass, but they do leak so I'm going to entirely redo the seals. So that's issue #1.
Other than that she had a whole plumbing setup for her 70+ active tanks so the tanks are drilled. I need to fill the holes where the valve/thingy/fillermacallit deal is since I don't have that kind of setup.
Here's a pic.
My other issue is that the center brace on the 55g is broken. I need to add a strip of plastic, metal, wood, or something to glue or drill to it so that the tank doesn't bow. The thing is, the piece isn't flat. Only the edge of the center piece would be affixed to the new reinforcement so I'm not sure how well it'll hold.
Again, pics so you know what I'm talking about.

Once I've dealt with all of this, I'm going to move on to working on the lighting as well as building a stand. For now I just need to get these tanks safe Any advice is appreciated!
