While cleaning the ancient 20H that is the temp viv, the rim of the tank popped off and broke into pieces. I'm about to try weather strip under the lid to keep the flies in, but I do want to replace the rim so I can turn it into a vertical. I also have a 29 gallon that used to house my rats. That rim needs replacing as well, or I would have done a build on it instead of buying the zoo med.
1. Where in the world can I find new rims? Maybe some nice spinners...Buying a new tank isn't really an option right now as I've invested quite a bit into setting up the new Zoo Med viv.
2. What adhesive do I use? The manufacturer definitely didn't use silicone; it's a black, very sticky stuff that I can NOT seem to get off the glass.
3. How do I get the old sticky crud off the glass so that I can put new sticky crud on it?
