carla Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 And it also looks like no re-inforcements are there apart from a (surely soon rusting) metal reinforcing bracket at the top. Would you consider this safe for the living room or is it more of an over-sized terrarium for a water dragon? Seller claims it was full of water and fish at some stage for a film.

mr pleco Posted May 15, 2007 Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 really depends on how much bracing / how thick that bracing is rusting metal dosent sound good and how thick the glass is ..also note where it is to be put and what reinforcing the floor has hell of alot of water in one spot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smidey Posted May 15, 2007 Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 there has been a few threads posting the calc method. as for the top frame I think it is good but will need a blast & paint at some point. avon industries in kamo have the facilities to blast & paint the frame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barrie Posted May 21, 2007 Report Share Posted May 21, 2007 there is an industry standard for tank that can probably be found on the Metroglass tech web site... I dont work for them. Be aware that silicone is not a glue but is a sealant and has a life that is shortened went under too much stress Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
