My frag tank build

Here are some pics of my frag tank build

cool, i like the double rack. What did you cut out the bottom of the supports for?

So I will not get dead spots for the water

Well I started to fill it up and guess what??? THE DAM THING LEAKS!!!!!!AAAHHHHHH

Oh that sucks! What size tank is it? Where'd you get it?

it is a 10g...........lol can you say NANO!!!!!


I got it from Cammie. She got it from Mr James a while back
it a 40g

thats what i figured, good planning.

Ok. I thought it was one of his tanks. I still have those two 20s like that from him doing nothing but that probably doesn't help you.

I wish I had know that I would have got one of them from you,but thats ok I resealed this one tonight and will see if it holds water tomorrow.

I was going to ask you if the brain I got from you is the one in your avatar? And what kind is it??

It's the same kind, a trachy but not the one in my avatar. I bought four at once from a guy, and already had one so I sold two to Jason and the other red one to you. The one in my av is huge compared to all the others, it's grown like mad for some reason.

Here's my red one now, plus the green I've had for a long time and yours is the cut off one in the corner. It's weird because all the rest are the same size.

It Has water in it!!!!

very cool, i take it you have fixed the leak?

Yep well I hope so!!!!lol

Is it acrylic or glass and how did you fix it?

it is acrylic, I just used aquarium silicone

Yeah water that stays in! Hopefully it stays that way.

Yeah hope she holds for you, Silicone is not the best bondable material for acrylic
if she springs a leak again you might want to look into getting some weld-on # 16. I have most of the weld-on solvents.

Crap!! that is good to know now...LOL well I guess if it springs a leak I will have to get some, let cross my fingers.. it was not a big leak

i would say it will be ok as long as the welded seam on the acrylic doesnt let go completely. I have the weld ons also if you want to fix it with them. than you could sleep at night without the i wonder thought in your head.

Well it has been holding water now for a few days and no leak do hopfully it will be fine."knock on wood"
