Guest Abrienna Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 I have a 20 gallon high that was given to me by my grandmother. The frame at the top of the tank is cracked, and in several places the little lip/rim where the hood rests is broken away. I can still put a hood on it, but it is quite "wobbly," and in my opinion, not so safe. I asked at my LFS if it was possible for them to just order the whole top plastic frame piece, but they don't have a supplier. Anyone have any other niffty ideas? Thanks, Abrienna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Abrienna Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 I'm half-way handy, but I lack any tools and space. However, my dad has both the tools and the space. So, I'm open to ideas on building something. Abrienna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest moTIGS Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 A picture would be helpful if you want suggestions on how to fix it yourself. Personally, I'd probably try to figure out some way to make a new one, but I can't really help you without pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
