Hi all. I'm returning to reefing after about 10 yrs. Don't know why I suddenly got the itch but I did and now I'm starting to scratch it. I picked up a used 120gd tank w/ stand, 40gb sump, 40gb qt tank w/ stand, aquatic life 4 bulb t5 hybrid unit, octo 202s skimmer along with a few other things. $400. I just received 3 new leds to add to the t5, return pumps, 2 power heads (will probably add 2 more) and Barracuda RODI unit. Still need rock, sand, salt, test kits, etc...
I have a question about the tank. I am doing a reseal job and have removed all the old silicone and overflows. The joints all in good shape. The top center trim/brace is in rough shape and cracked. The glass is 1/2 inch thick. Is it wise to try to remove the top trim or try to repair it using JB Weld or the like and repaint? Could I remove it and use glass bracing or euro brace (if top of glass is in good condition).
