abalone

Worked a treat, thanks everyone.

Hi Warren, yes I will put the pieces of timber in to load share. As far as the other part goes, when I removed the lights to clean tank and change water I noticed the glass that sits on top between the lights and braces appeared crooked but upon closer inspection found the top middle brace still glued on at the back of tank and on top but the front had slipped down and was inside tank. I measured the flex using a tape at each end at the top and in the middleat the top. The flex appears equal on the back and front glass (so nearly 5mm each) I hope this is what you meant, Also thanks very much for the help, cheers

thanks for that, I will buy a new clamp in the morning and glue it back in place.

Hi, just noticed my middle brace has fallen off one side in the middle of my tank whilst I was doing a water change. The tank has a large flex so drained a bit of water out.Tank is 1500mm long 600mm high and 500mm wide at each end and is bowing to 510mm in the centre, glass is 10mm thick. What recommendations can anybody make? Is this very dangerous? I guess I could half empty it and try to clamp it and glue it back in place for a day or so. thanks for any help

They are great looking fish and I will be getting more but as a novice it could work out a very expensive exercise if they all go that big aquarium up in the sky

Thanks for the advice, I am intending on getting a few more discus but am going to see how this fella goes first. He is quiet a big fish and does come out now and then I just wanted him to feel comfortable. thanks again everyone for the fast advice.

Hi, I have just added my first discus to my community tank and would like to know if too much waterflow is undisirable for him? Tank is about 440litres,Filter/pumps 1 x 1000litre external canister,2 x powerhead 1000litre running 2 x undergravel filters. Tank has big driftwood log in it for him to hide,he seems happy enough so far.I'm new to discus. any help appreciated, cheers
