  1. PM sent

    UV glue should not be used in mitre joint as it sets with no give and expansion of one piece and retraction of the other will creat thermal breakages.

    UV glue is normally used in a situation where maximum strength is needed and there is no temperature difference in glass.

    It should never be used in aquaria

    that i agree with and if a glazier tells you to use this then make sure you get it in writing that they will replace tank and fish if it brakes or the fish die.

  2. hi all,

    yay we have finally found a bigger house and move in 2 weeks (31st jan).

    if anyone in the area wants to help that would be fantastic and we would very much appreciate it :D

    we are moving from wainui to masterton (so its not just down the road)

    we may be able to offer a bribe of free beers to those willing to help.

    thanks in advance from the whole family (repies and fishies included) :lol: :lol:

  3. yes i have made mine and yea it a bit cheaper and you get more pride out of making it than buying it.

    as for the glass just go to some one like smith and smith or other glass shops shop around tho as some places are cheaper than others.

    as for silicone i use selleys glass silicone sealant for windows and aquariums it takes a week to fully set but worth the wait so it dont leak ($15 per tube)

    hope that helps you

  4. if it has babies its a girl,if there are just the two, then the one that did not have the babies is a boy.Alot of experienced keepers go by this method too!

    but what happens if it dosent have baby's? are they 2 males or 2 females so best get the book or go online and see how to measure the vents. is that not true.

    but its only my opinion
