Tank strength?

I would empty that tank again and put some bracing on the top just to be safe.

(P.S.. your mom will kill you if she saw how you have your canopy resting on your curtains. LOL)

 

Now how would i do that? Sorry Zoom i am really dumb when it comes to these things. I did search it but all i saw was ?????????????? pics are worth a 1000 words. A 1000 words without a pic is like a . to me lol.

I have a very strict rule for my room. NO ONE may enter without me being there. Tank is no longer there. Used my bed side tables as a stand now, looks better

 

You would have to get some informtation from some of the other guys on the forum. I've only got those "all in one" tanks. Not too sure how the bracing goes. Try googling "Euro Bracing"

 

Glass is actually a liquid!!!

You need to measure the inside length of the tank then get 2 x strips of glass that are for examples sake 900 x 30 x 6mm and silicone them with marine silicone about 15mm from the top.

let that dry for at least 24hrs and then add water and fish

Skip the boring stuff!!! head to Conclusion at the bottom.

 

u mean this part

There is no clear answer to the question "Is glass solid or liquid?".

 

Like i said words mean nothing lol dont understand sorry....

Yip:blink1:

 

Troy... Bud... type www.google.co.za
In the search box type in "eurobracing"

When the list comes up... there are thousands of explanations on how to do it. At the very top of the searched page, you can also click on the "images" and you will get another couple thousand PICTURES.

 

If u cant work it out from that explanation or the pictures that have been posted my suggestion is to drain all the water and take the tank to your Local Fish Store and ask them to place brace the tank for you.

 

Shouldn't that read....

BWHAHHHAHAHHAHAHAHHA, maybe

 

Thanks Zoom lol. The PICTURES helped alot. Now i understand whats going on.

Iv SEEN that you can have them at the top, bottom or both as well as middle. Considering my tank is small should i just brace the top?

 

In order to do it, you have to completely empty the tank, so it might just be worth while to do the bottom at the same time. The glass cost is minimal. But I would DEFINATELY do the top!

 

Am i begining to P you off Zoom?

 

Not at all Troy.

 

Oh well everyone is drilling me down today so i guess im going to head off

 

sorted?

google diy tank bracing it will help also wikipedia will help a lot man.

man why don't you just go to the glass place that fixed your last tank and get them to replace panels or add bracing?

 

I might as well as buy a new tank then

 

do what you want man

 

Yeah. Have you used that sand yet?
