Just joined after picking up a 150 gallon long reef setup used. Looking to slowly get this thing going. Have to do some repairs on the acrylic tank first though previous owner cracked both back corners But couldn't pass it up for $100.

Yeah I've been doing some research and I ordered some weld on 4 but after looking a little closer I'll have to see why it cracked. Looks like the center sagged on the stand and so it cracked and separated a bit on both top back corners. Going to check to see if the tank is still flat with a level tomorrow to see if that is actually the issue.

Personally I wouldn't consider repairing that tank, but you could try to repurpose the acrylic in either a new display tank or a custom sump.
