Stop Quoting Me!
I have a little experience here as I was going to buy a 500g tank not too long ago. The bottom seal was bad and needed to be fixed. I contacted all of my local LFS..Here is what everyone of them told me.
If we just need to re-seal it, then we would certainly consider it....If we have to take of the black trim..We won't touch it. The black trim is there for bracing....and keeps the glass from bowing and eventually the seams from splitting...Think about what 240g of water looks like on your floor.
I would seriously consider what you're getting into. If the black frames are broken...experienced LFS' won't touch it. You may end up purchasing a giant glass box that you can't do anything with.
Understand, these large tanks are under an EXTREME amount of water pressure once filled.
