fixing a broken tank


Gannet

Recommended Posts

ok so i broke my tank last week...

As i was transporting it, the spriget in the over flow got stuck in the door and broke it out...

The break was contained inside the over flow box, so we cleaned it up, and cut a curve in the glass to stop any runners...

We then got a triangle piece of glass to go on the outside and a square piece for the inside, had all the holes drilled in both pieces.

Glued the square bit inside with the spriget in it...

and got the triangle and glued that on the out side and that had a bigger hole so that the outside of the spriget could fit through it...

Left it for a couple of days, then did a pressure test and then reglued any little leaks that sprung...

and wamo the tank was saved and is now set up...

to see pics of the tank all set up:
