The reason it is free is that it no longer holds water. The short(end) panel cracked and the repair job didn't work...more silicone and time will fix it I think.

Good thing is, if you have the time and work-space, that the rest of the tank is fine and 10mm all round...so 3 bases for new tanks or a couple of face glass' for tanks, etc.

You remove...you keep.
First in best dressed.
Get it before it annoys me and gets thrown away.

Geez Maz, after almost 2 weeks, I am sorry it didn't work out but like Charlie said, cut the end panel out, remove ALL the silicone and replace it with a new panel and it will work like a charm

Yeah...I know what needs to be done guys. I just do not have the time, patience, strength, interest or the 'workspace' to take on the job. Trouble is I need the tank-space ASAP and it is this factor as much as anything that has forced my hand.
I have already ordered the replacement...so, that is that.

But I figured someone with little money and some youthfull exuberance might wanna have a bash at it...however, seeing as only you 2 replied I figure the youth are busy LMAO

It will be going when the new tank gets here, this week, so any1 who is interested...the clock is ticking.

too far for youth to go as they have limited transport, otherwise i would be interested in taking it off your hands.

I'm a youth with time and i can probably transport it too

Just 2 qs, how heavy does the thing weigh and how hard is it to repair? Is it simply a matter of puttin the silicone on and holding the glass in place?

If anyone wants to get it to my place, I will fix it for $150.00. That's a cheap 5' x 2' x 2' guys
