Most 6ft tanks are lower height than the 31" of the 7ft one. Then there's getting the old tank out, trying to lug another one down the stairs again. I just don't have it in me anymore to do it.

I'd see if Dan would do a house call and do a complete tear down on the tank clean that sombitch up and silicone it back together.

Tried that NUMEROUS times back in the fall. Sent Dan 4-5 emails as well as multiple phone messages over the course of 2-3 weeks time and I could not get him to even return one of them.

Yeah, 26" depth is what you'd have to down grade to (150 gallon) or 24" (180 / 125).
Sliding them down the stairs is easy. As for the old one, %@$# that thing - carry it out in pieces!

That's the plan. I plan to give it a little payback for all the pain it has caused me over the past 2 years.

Sometimes you get lucky.  My new tank is 72x48x30

  I've also tried to get a hold of him.  It appears that he has disappeared.

Maybe he inadvertently made a glass tank with 6 solid panes of glass while sealing it from the inside

Hey Steve,

Not sure if this is an option but I saw this the over day:

Brand new 265 for 799 Canadian - since our dollar is at 80 cents right now that would be approx $645 US.  They are in Windsor ON - not sure how far away you are from the border but it might be an option.....

Sorry to hear of the leak....

Steve,

I'm so sorry!!!  I'm sad to say I know the feeling ... after my 125g developed a slow leak in December.  It's been leak-free, after my re-sealing, for about a month now and God-willing it will stay that way.

All the best!

BTW, here's a video I made of my long re-sealing "journey" that might be helpful for someone down the road ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0dcfJ8SIZ6s
