I went on Craigslist... Yes I know... That was probably my first mistake. Anyways, I went on Craigslist and bought this 20 Gallon Rimless Glass Aquarium. The person I bought it from had said he removed the black rim that ran along the top himself and had it set up for several months as a Planted Aquarium until he decided he no longer wanted that setup. I bought the tank with the intentions of using it as a Saltwater Aquarium. More specifically a reef tank. Because of the fact that there is no rim along the top and that it was removed, I am not sure what will happen once I set it up as a salt water tank. I don't want to set it up and have it shatter into pieces. Does anyone know what I can do? I contacted the seller and they won't do a refund. Is there anywhere that sells rims I can put onto it or is there another way I can reinforce it to ensure that it doesn't shatter. I cleaned it out and wiped it down so it is perfectly clean. I am going to fill it with room temperature water to see if it leaks. I guess that will kind of be the test to put it to. Just want some options. Was going to hang onto it and use it as a frag tank later on down the line but I'm not sure. Called nearly every pet store in the area and they said throw it out. Any one else have suggestions?
Attached is 2 photos. The first is the planted aquarium he had it set up as, the second in how i have the tank now after having cleaned it out and wiped it down.
