I have a 30 gallon Oceanic View aquarium that i obtained in a trade from a friend. It has two holes drilled, one for overflow, one for return. Just your standard reef ready 30 gallon 36 x 12 x 16. I have had the tank up and running for about 6 months and it has done fantastic, but there is a huge problem (to me anyway), the front glass has a ton of very deep scratches and it is very unsightly. I was wondering if there is any places in Georgia that could possibly take out the front piece of glass and replace it with a piece of staphire glass. I was thinking about just getting a new tank made but getting the exact dimensions and holes drilled in the same spot to fit the custom oak stand/canopy seems impossible.

do yal think this is even doable and where could i get this done at in Georgia

thanks!

couldnt you get a new standard tank (not a custom one), drill it as closely as you can, and then just modify the stand to fit the new tank?

custom work on a tank that small, especially when its a standard dimension, is a waste of money.

My thoughts exactly, just get a brand new one and have someone drill it. Most hardware stores will do it (at least in my area)

You could replace the front glass yourself.
