It is the round type and will need to be custom fitted. Like everytime else it's a custom tank Djrichie "So Long, and Thanks For All The Fish" Douglas Adams

djrichie Big Fish Rough but Honest [img]htt Posts: 366 Kudos: 309 Votes: 45 Registered: 29-Jan-2007	Edited by djrichie thanks for the info but this is a custom tank from the early 80's. I look for the tanks footprint when buying or retreiving as my last 3 tanks came into exsists. Anyway I'm looking for info on where to have the trim made because this tanks outside messurments are 24" long X 18" depth x 14.5" high, Which makes it a very large looking 27 gal tank. I don't care if it is square or 1/2 round. If anyone knows where or who, I would be very greatful. I'm jones'n to get this tank up and running. Thank you Djrichie "So Long, and Thanks For All The Fish" Douglas Adams

Was there a center brace involved in the original trim? If not you could probably obtain materials from a local building supply that would suffice appearance wise and DIY.

Have it miter cut and glue the pieces together at the corners (water proof glue). If it is a large tank, you can put L shaped metal braces underneath on each corner.

I guess now I could change my name to five tanks. The wife is pissed Djrichie "So Long, and Thanks For All The Fish" Douglas Adams
