What do people do with heavy leaking aquariums?

What do people do with heavy leaking aquariums? It is so heavy. It is a Red Sea 425 G2 with imminent front panel failure. We have relocated the corals.

Drain asap and use buckets while looking for another tank… better than everything all over the floor

Do you mean to get rid of it? Around here (Australia) and probably everywhere, we have small businesses with names like "got junk" or "two men and a truck". Especially if you have a few other things to dispose of, they are a relatively cheap way to get some strong young people to clear away things you can't put in the regular trash/garbage.

You can drain it and re seal it if you’re up for it. If not just take it to your closest dump or call someone to come get it.

Speaking from experience, I wouldn't wait for the panel to fail. I'm glad you've removed the corals! Now it's time to drain the tank. You can either reseal it or get rid of it. Find a local herping group (I found one on fb) and post it for sale or free pickup. You can sell a huge aquarium as a terrarium and make a little money back! My leaking 120g is now home to a 6' python. Good luck!

sell it for parts to a glass company

I would either dump it, or sell it to someone who might be able to fix it.
