Metal Frame Tanks

Hello

Speaking of the metal frame tanks does any one know where you can find / get
/ buy the old aquarium black putty originally used in the metal frame tanks
?

Thanks

Bill,

I like metal frame tanks too. They take more abuse than all glass tanks.
Stainless steel frame tanks disappeared for the most part because all glass
tanks are easier & cheaper to make and lighter to ship. I think you can
still buy stainless steel tanks from scientific supply
stores, but the prices compared to all glass tanks are out of sight.

make their own DIY tank.  The trend to all glass made stainless steel tanks
passe', but they were attractive and functional.
