AzFish Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 hi all, went to pick up my new 6fter today, got in the car all well in good, pulling it of the car however, my brother and I knocked it on the back panel and crack! took it back to the shop and will find out on Monday if its going to be cheaper to repair it or buy another tank .. Can anyone say whats usually cheaper? new back panel for a 72x14x18 or a new tank? Not a great start to the weekend! Cheers, Aaron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandy001 Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 Bad luck mate Nothing worse than breaking a tank let alone a brand new one. Hope the supplier looks after you with a good price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

huzzy Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 Usualy cheaper to repair, if the shop is looking after you. Get a price off them, also try some other fish shops and local glaziers. Glaziers are usualy really cheap (in my area atleast) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CThompson Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 What shop was it - you should give them a good wrap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Citypainter Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 What shop was it - you should give them a good wrap. Its always best to pay for delivery. Give them the responsibility. Hindsight is a wonderful thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
