overdue fishroom update

I've been so busy lately I almost didnt get a chance for a fish room update! Cant neglect the aquariums! Sept 1, 2015 ******************************************************************** Subscribe here: https://goo.gl/4OO1ml ******************************************************************* Been busy busy lately and have not had much time to update the goings on in the fishroom! So here's an update. Lets see how the fish are doing, and talk about a tank brace thats about to break! Tank braces are one of those things that so easily go overlooked. They're such flimsy pieces of plastic right? I mean they break all the time if you just lean on them a little; so obviously they're not important right? WRONG!!!! Those pieces of plastic might seem flimsy if you lean on them but thats because they're not designed to be strong in that direction. They're not designed to hold the weight of something on top of it. They are designed to help keep the front and back pieces of the aquarium from spreading apart due to the tremendous force of the water pressure behind them. If you look closely at the tank trim and/or tank brace, you'll see that the trim itself is connected to the brace and is all one continuous piece. It wraps around the top of the glass locking it in place. Now if that brace in the middle breaks it will allow the front and back glass to spread a bit farther away from one another than if that brace was still in place. You can see the difference and it will be measurable. If you've got a tank with a broken brace measure across the top of the tank and note the distance between the front and back glass. Do this once with the tank full and again with the tank empty (or halfway empty at least). The results might shock you! Whats next you might ask? Wont the tank eventually break?! It certainly could....and might.....and probably will if you dont do something to stop it! ******************************************************************** Follow Rich's Fishes!

I have had good results using epoxy to get the plastic back to where it is supposed to be. It has held up so far. A carpentry wood clamp may keep things together in the meantime.

+anselb2000 epoxy does sound like a good idea; but I'd be reluctant to use it without emptying the tank first. I'd be scared of dribbling a bit into the water! I do have a bar clamp I intend to use on this. The tank is still running with the broken brace and its getting worse as times goes on. It really needs to get fixed before a catastrophe happens!

Hey, I hope I am not late in my comment.
The issue with your broken tank (supposedly), is an easy one.
Take a piece of glass, about 3 inches wide, length should be equal to the inside breadth of your tank. Using silicone and some pieces of support glass, stick it inside. Basically it will be hidden below the plastic which is breaking .....It should solve the issue. Your tank apparently does not have a support in the middle of it. It works wonders, you will be all set for a long time. A simple DIY should do the trick. Hope it helps ...Cheers TC

+Kshitij Dave Thaks Dave. You're talking about a eurobrace. Yes that would work but its a little more complicated than just cutting a piece of glass and sticking it in there!

U might try a long wood clamp, I've got one that goes up to 2' or so, U should be able to find one at any hardware store. Maybe drain the tank again before you clamp the two sides, but it should hold really well. And if you want to give it a try, you could take the fish out and use some gorilla glue or something and clamp it hard and see if it holds. Hope somethin works, would suck to have to buy another tank (and redo the stand).

+Justin P I also thought of possibly using a bar clamp like you're suggesting. Wont look pretty but it sure would do the trick! Thanks for the suggestion!

damn man i had a cross brace bust on my 55 gallon fish tank good thing i still had my receipt and got refunded for it and use the money to get a new one and used some strips of glass i got from my hardware store and silicone it in like new braces and i use it outdoors tho just incase something happens...i was so scared when i seen my tank after it broke i swore it was gonna explode
Rico Suave
Rico Suave - 9 years ago
+Rich's Fishes if you have some scrap acrylic or glass around make some cross braces and silicon them in...only thing is that you might have limited space to get in and out 
Rich's Fishes
Rich's Fishes - 9 years ago
+Rico Suave yeah this thing is pretty old so no hope of returning it; but I'll figure out something.....hopefully before its too late!
