well, had a bit of aquarium trouble, had/have

the top link bar, its a strip of glass runs from the centre of the top of the tank to the back to stop the tanks sides from bowing became unstuck this allowing a bow to happen

tried regluing it with special glue but that failed several times

so i am now setting up a new identical tank in order to swap the contents of the damaged tank over

then i will repair the damaged tank when empty

Ooooo, big job.

Nice to you here. 🙂

transferred some of the plants and driftwood this morning

took a picture of the temporary clmp i made to keep the damaged tank from bowing too

All sounds too scary for me.

Good to see Leroy is helping with the procedure (as much as I would be)

What a spoilt & comfortable dog you are Leroy!

[davidc4430]

ok, swapped plants and fish into new tank, been running for a few days and all seems ok

emptied and cleaned out the damaged tank

resealed the broken joint and its been clamped up, now i will wait a week or so to be sure the sealant is fully cured before rebuilding the tank and filling it with water
