I am refurbishing a home made tank that is about 86 gallons. Thank sits on a stand made of aluminum tubing and channel and seems very strong. When I picked up the tank it was permanently attached to the stand with strips of mirror and wood moldings siliconed to both the tank and stand. I had to set the unit on its side to get it inside a minivan to transport home. The tanks came loose from the stand on the way which was probably a good thing because now it's easier to move around.
I removed the wood moldings and mirror from the tank and stand. I am getting ready to put new trim on the top and bottom of the tank. I am thinking of using aluminum corner moldings from Home Depot.
I have never seen a tank trimmed in aluminum. Are there any issues with using aluminum to trim the tank? Because the tank was home made the glass edges and corners are not in the best shape so I want to cover them both to protect the glass and myself. I plan on using it as a grow out tank for frags.
