If happens again just put heater and filter in clean bucket of tank water with fish. Be fine there until tank fixed

Acrylic aquariums should not leak if they used acrylic cement... MAYBE you could DIY an acrylic aquarium? To reduce the air stone flow, you must install a valve into the tubing. Aquarium stores have tonnes. I also have check valves on my tubing to prevent water from flowing into the pump.

Okay , sounds like a good idea. That's really a drag, to be honest I'd try to get a refund first or something... because I have had glass aquariums for more than 10 years and I never needed to reseal them... Sounds like a dud aquarium that they sold you.

Aww! that really sucks! I would call the company and request a refund... I bought the same tank once from Walmart and they replaced it in the store. I also re-sealed another tank i found on the side of the road and it ran for a year with no issues. Good luck on what you choose to do :) Also, try using an air stone to hatch your shrimp, the eggs need constant movement to prevent them from settling and rotting, therefore reducing your hatch success rate. Great video as always!

Hi Dustin, if you want to avoid another failure of your fish tank, use a styrofoam sheet as a base for the tank, it helps absorving the weight and helps to distribute the weight more evenly in the botton glass of the aquarium.

It cracked because you didn't have any foam underneath the tank. With heat and humidity your dresser would've warped and put a twist on the tank. Don't go buying a more expensive tank, just to plonk onto your dresser, you'll end up the same fate!

I'm going to try to reseal it, and then make sure to put it on a foam pad

Have you checked out the com cable to the Whisper filter? Was it wet?
If it was, then it was likely because it was hanging downward's and creating a path for the water that was in the filter.
I have the same whisper 10Gal filter for my Guppy fishtank and it did the same exact thing to my fistank. Half of the water was all over the floor while my poor guppies were freaking out in what ever water was left in the tank.
When I Cleaned it up, added more water to the tank and powered up my filter, I saw that the water in the filter was pushing drops of it down the cable and onto the floor.
I simply fixed it by taping the wire on top of the hood and I added a plastic bag around the top of the filter just encase any of the water tried to get out of there. few week's later, No water on the floor.

Hope this helps you!

kathrynvanwaart
kathrynvanwaart - 6 years ago
Maybe instead of potato, you can grow celery? In another tank, you just need to leave the bottem inch or two and kickstart the roots in some shallow water. And maybe underneath the gravel put some dirt (or mud out of a creek system) for the roots and maybe some crustations. Im sorry to see the fairyshrims you've gotten arent that great, i know you've had better once so i can understand its a bummer for you.
Love your vids tho, it has started me on some (sadly failed attempts) ecosphers. But once it gets a bit warmer ill probably try a few again.

Sad to see the fish go, i know aquariums are hard, but if you find one that doesn't leak (idk but my thrift store sometimes has a few for a good deal)

Yeay i've officialy written the longes coment i've ever posted xD
Cant wait to see another update from you

The amount your channel has grown is absurd bro lol. Its been neat to watch over the past year. I kind of f@#$ng hate you jk but id love to speak to you and ask you a few questions about your experiences leading up to and since the creation of your channel.
im going to start a channel here asap (nothing at all similar to yours no fish, ecospheres, or anything) and id greatly appreciate the opportunity to speak to someone who has reached the current number of subscribers and regular viewers you have.

Watching the growth and of your channel has been a great subject of interest for me.

If you dont think it would be too weird, hmu.

If you cannot get the air bubble to slow down or reduce its output, you may want to consider bringing the air-stone nearer to the water surface (or half submerged) to prevent too much agitation at the bottom of your eco system?

I'm very sorry about the leaky tank, I agree with the other people in the comments about resealing the tank with silicone and starting anew. It would also be cool to make it into a terrarium, maybe make it into a leopard gecko terrarium, they are very easy to care for, all you got to do is put a sand-like mixture in the bottom and add hiding places. You should add one area that is damp and a heating fixture in another area. Feed them crickets and an insect called a Dubia Roach, you should also have a small bowl with very shallow water. But if you don't want something like that just do whatever you want, it will be amazing no matter what. Keep up the amazing work!

This is just a late edit, but you should also do lots of research, that way things will hopefully be less stressful, you could also use the clay hideout you made, make the entrance bigger or break it in half and use that as a hideout.

Like others have been saying, you can reseal the tank with silicone if you want to give it another try. If you do so, I would reccomend leaving it filled with water inside of a bathtub or outside, you'll be able to safely test if it will hold water and see if it still leaks. Water damage is no fun, buying a new tank may be the best option. I'm glad the fish are okay :)
Dustin Pak
Dustin Pak - 6 years ago
Thanks, I'll probably reseal it just for the practice, then use it for something different :)
Metehan Cebeci
Metehan Cebeci - 6 years ago
You're hatching the eggs incorrectly..
1) You put way too many eggs into a container too small
2) the container should be shaped more like a cone
3) there should be an air line interested into the water for more oxygen
4) I don't know what you did with the water but it should've been spring water along with some baking soda and salt

Consider trying again. I'm pretty sure if the hatch rate was as low as you made it seem, the company wouldn't be selling them in the first place.
Dustin Pak
Dustin Pak - 6 years ago
Thanks, I did use spring water and an air bubbler to agitate the eggs, but I think the temperature of the water was too low to get much to hatch

looks like the tank cracked on the bottom pane? usually thaat means the tank was not placed on a level surface. I suggest you place a piece of foam mat under the tank to help even out the tank and prevent preasure points on the frame.
Shaden0040
Shaden0040 - 6 years ago
Yeah that happened to me when I was a kid. The tanks was on a piano bench which had bowed, and the middle wasn't supported. :( The bottom pane cracked due to stress and the weight of the water and substrate.
Dustin Pak
Dustin Pak - 6 years ago
Yeah, it was almost definitely a leak on the bottom. All four corners of the tank were in contact with the tabletop, but maybe the combination of uneveness and a sudden ambient temperature drop is what caused it

you can just pinch the airline with some sort of clamp or heavy object to reduce the flow.

My tank loses a fraction of water but don't worry It is only evapouration and codensation giving it a illusion of leaking

If you clean up the silicone on it and make sure it's smooth you can reseal the tank. And if you don't trust it you can line the inside and outside with silicone. But make sure it's food grade silicone or else you can contaminate the water

Dustin Pak check if the stand is level. If one of the corners isnt touching the stand it can pop the seals.
Natalie Wiltshaw
Natalie Wiltshaw - 6 years ago
im not sure if you can buy it in the US but the commonly used silicone used for tanks in the UK is called HA6, you might be able to find it on amazon. Make sure the silicone you use doesnt contain mould inhibitors
Dustin Pak
Dustin Pak - 6 years ago
Thanks, I got some aquarium safe silicone and I'm going to try to reseal it

Getting a new tank, especially a ten gal isn't that expensive if you find a chain pet store that has a dollar per gallon sale going on. Then its literally only ten dollars + tax.

Elizabeth Myers it's because you don't know how to take care of them. You need to water them with distilled water and keep them outside in full sun and they need to go through a full dormancy period. I have a shelf of them and they have a lot of different morphs.

Hi Dustin Pack. I'm Sorry, about what happened to your aquarium. Keep your head up and be positive as positive is the only way forward.

The bright side is, you managed to save your Puffer Fish.

All you have to do is resilicone it
Get a razor and cut of the old silicone then get new silicone and put a thick layer over the seams. There's a bunch of tutorials on youtube
