125g trim replacement

[Octane13]

Does anyone know where to get replacement trim for a 125. Was given a 125 recently which was outside and the plastic is very brittle and cracked in most places. Did some searching around but it doesn't seem like many people sell replacements. The tank only has one center brace but not sure of the manufacturer.

I replaced the trim on my 125g. I was able to buy one from here:

When the trim came in, I got a hacksaw blade and cut out all the old trim (fortunately my tank was empty), 4-6 inches at a time, (it's tedious, but any more than that you risk cracking your glass when pulling off the trim) and then cleaned off all the silicone. I followed this video:



I put silicone on the new trim and put it on with something heavy on top of it to hold it down while the silicone cured (24 hours).

Was it under the custom frame section? Did you have any issues with the dimensions/installing it? I figured I would do the top and bottom separate and use the weight of the aquarium to settle the silicone.

Yes, custom frame. I went with Style 1. You have to contact them and they will ask you to give them exact dimensions. No issues with install. Hardest part is removing existing frame. I only did the top so can't speak to the bottom.

perfect, I assume the bottom will be the same

Did your new frame come in two pieces?
