Good job down hat.

AIR Nashville - 7 years ago

Nicely done and what a nice tank. How much do the materials for a tank that size run?

Asghar Ali - 7 years ago

The injection method was good. But there's shouldn't be so much gap between the glasses like the size of tooth pick and all the four panel sits on the bottom glass which is the base and not outside. I'm an aquarist myself and all the aquariums I have made don't have so much gaps.

+Asghar Ali interesting , feel free to email me to discuss further. Thanks for your feedback, leopazzo85@gmail.com

While making New 4 feet glass Aquarium. How many times should we apply silicon coating for whole tank? What will happen if we apply second round silicon coating above first dry silicon coating after 24 hours

@LEOPAZZO TV - How did you keep the gaps from closing up? I saw another guy use some zip ties. Didn't see that you had anything gapping your glass open.

LEOPAZZO TV - 7 years ago

clamps holding the glass at the top, all the weight the bottom is harder to move.
GUYS PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THE EXACT MEASUREMENT OF THE GLASS IS KEY - VERY IMPORTANT,
THIS METHOD CAN NOT BE DONE IF THE GLASS IS NOT THE CORRECT MEASUREMENTS.

motoxposse - 7 years ago

I have never seen a tank build by any manufacturer that puts the bottom panel inside the side front and back panels. They do use an injection method but the sides front and back panels sit on top of the bottom panel for strength. They use a silicon spacer that the panels sit on top of creating a gap on the bottom panel then inject it the same way you showed. Have you tested your way for durability/strength ? With other tanks if so how long have they been filled up in use?

LEOPAZZO TV - 7 years ago

this 120 is currently set up since dec 2016 downtown in the city on the 29th floor. along with the custom built stand i build. which you can see in some of my other videos. thanks for the suggestions and comments, you have some great points. what type of test would you like done? i am interested to test the tanks durability.

iole96792 - 7 years ago

Damn... wish I had seen your video before I put mine together... I had one hell of a silicone mess.

Hugo Sacramento - 7 years ago

Hey Leopazoo, thank you. So I have a doubt. What I have to do after inject silicone? Have I to press the glass to close the gap?

LEOPAZZO TV - 7 years ago

not really, you can leave the glass as is once you inject the silicone. you just have to have the correct size gap to start with. once you have the correct gap, lock it in with the metal braces and inject the silicone, you can slightly tap on the glass if you think it will help with your contact bond. but ideally you should be injecting the silicone so the gap is completely full with silicone.

Gustavo - 7 years ago

hola. como hiciste para dejarle la distancia entre los vidrios de alrededor y la base? Gracias.

Cory keeler - 7 years ago

This method takes the scare out of me building my 210 gallon! What kind of clamps are those? Also i wonder if its better to compress the glass after you inject it because it reduces the possiblity of shearing apart, no?

Akash Katariya - 7 years ago

Can you please tell me the name of tool you used to hold corner of the walls of the aquarium so that i can get it to make my own please

LEOPAZZO TV - 7 years ago

the silicone is already contacting the glass if it is injected correctly. and any alteration is no good. next thing you know you have half dried silicone and now your shimming your tank back and forth to get it square?> not good. the tank glass should all be 100% set before starting injection method.

MICHAEL FABRY - 7 years ago

Thanks 120 what I hope to build one day,good tips.How do you keep those gaps steady? Will check out the other vids.

LEOPAZZO TV - 7 years ago

braces and smooth flat surface to work on, and level.

vinish shetty - 7 years ago

Hey man, how did you make sure that the bottom panel didn't stick to the drop cloth the tank was sitting on?

Gib P - 7 years ago

Are the sides of the tank on top of the bottom, or is the bottom piece inside of the side pieces?

Ethan Peregoy - 7 years ago

Juliana Super Channel hey no prob, yea I wondered if it would stick too much or not, good to know. Thanks ✌️

LEOPAZZO TV - 7 years ago

Ethan Peregoy hey Ethan sorry bud. The comment by Juliana super channel is from me but from my daughters YouTube channel. I didn't realize that I was signed in to her channel. Thanks again and I apology for the confusion. But what I wrote is true and was written by myself. Lol under her channel name. My bad
Cheers.
How's the tank?

Juliana Super Channel - 7 years ago

Ethan Peregoy great question. The tank and silicone actually DID stick to the drop cloth. And to be honest this was intended. And I'll explain why. The drop cloth is easy to peel off from the tank bottom glass and silicone. In a previous build I used just a sheet of 3/4" plywood and had the tank glass directly on top of plywood . But when I was ready to remove the tank from the plywood the silicone was really stuck to the silicone and was hard to remove the plywood. That's why this time around. I still used the plywood as my solid straight and level base that I can easily shim if need to make level and flat if needed. From there I laid down the drop cloth nice and flat with no creases or seams overlapping. As it is very important to have the bottom pane of glass to sit flat and level in each direction, front to back and left to right. Once drop cloth was positioned, I placed the bottom pane of glass in place, on top the drop cloth.
So all in all. Once silicone was dry for over 1 week I tilted the tank on its side and started to peel back the drop cloth slowly and observing the silicone that it was not being damaged or effected. And from my experience in this tank build, peeling back the drop cloth from the dry silicone was no issue and didn't effect the silicone and rip it out. Pretty straight forward. Again great question Ethan. I appreciate you tuning in. How's your tank going?
