russell Posted February 7, 2004 Report Share Posted February 7, 2004 Hi all I noticed a few of you are getting cracked tanks. Reason , stress. Cure : use 2 or 3 - 1 inch strips of glass as a brace/ and silicone them from the top front endge of the tank to the back. it is best to reduce the water level by a third and let the silicone go off and then raise the water level back. the new strips will prevent any bowing causing stress fractures; This is the biggest failure in people building there own tanks From a Pom living in the rep of Ireland. hope this helps.
