replacement frame for 75 gallon tank

[bairdimusprime]

any idea where i can get top and bottom frames for a 75 gallon tank?
marineland doesnt send them out anymore and i cant find any stores that sell them

thank you

Not worth the cost and effort when a new one is around 100 bucks.

Maybe you can find a tank on Craig's list cheap and pop the frame off.

"Popping" the frame off isn't easy. The ones I've removed have been very difficult and usually result in the old frame getting broken. A long razor like knife would be needed to get behind the frame and cut the silicone.....and the ones I did, the original installers must have loved silicone!

Assuming the glass is in good shape, you should make out fine. Use silicone to attach the news ones....but you'll figure that out taking off the old ones!
