    Definitely cheaper than a new tank

    I would just replace the frame. You can get them at Over The Edge- Wholesale Aquarium Tank Frames, Aquarium Trim, Aquarium Frames, Aquarium Rims, Aquarium Lighting, and Iron Stands

    Glasscages.com also sells them but they get their frames from the site I mentioned above

    The old frame can be a pain to remove but it's worth it IMO
    You can check out this video on way to remove it


    Another method can be found here

    Personally, I've never had the frame pop right off. I've always had to cut the frame in pieces and peel it off. Patience is a virtue!

    Thanks so much! I am definitely going to do that. I don't want to buy a new tank. I am a very patient person. I work at a pediatric dental office, I have the patience of a saint. ;)
