Dixon1990 Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 This morning i went to look at the fish tank and saw the glass brace thing half in the water. It came unsealed at one end. The Glass isnt bowing or anything yet but im still concerned.Would i just be able to make up a brace to hold the 2 pieces of glass together so it doesnt bow? Or would i have to empty tank and re-silicone it to the glass? THanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 Why don't you just re-silicone it to the bit where it has come away? Assuming it is at the top of the tank and above the water line you won't need to empty any water out of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malawi_man Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 made a temporary wooden brace to hold the tank in position while you glue the brace on again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pegasus Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 Personally I would empty around half of the water to remove any bow that there might be in the glass.. then position your temp wooden brace.. making it a fairly tight fit... then re-silicone the glass brace and leave 24hrs. Being a small seam it should be cured enough by then to hold.. so you can top the tank up. No harm in leaving the wood there for an extra day just to make sure. Bill.

Dixon1990 Posted April 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 It never bowed. But i have made a temporary stainless steel brace going across the top of the tank where the glass one was. Will this bee alright for a while? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
