repair

Hi everyone. I received my new tank today and it arrived damaged on the bottom. Approximately 8 inches in from the side. After getting it out of the crate I’m worried that it’s no longer structurally sound. It’s not cracked but it is a deep scratch and in one spot feels and looks like it was...

Hey everyone, I recently ran into a problem with one of my Kessil A360X Tuna‑Blues, after about five years of 12‑hour days at 40 % intensity, the fan started rattling and then stopped. https://andytran93.com/2025/08/11/diy-fan-replacement-for-the-kessil-a360x-tuna%e2%80%91blue/ Below is a...

Wanting to upgrade and found a deal on a 265g with a sump and stand for $800, that the current owner says requires a reseal. Is that worth a shot? Too much of a risk or hassle? I’ve done a reseal a few times but never over 60g. I assume doing it properly by completely removing all silicone and...

Hello everyone! I accidentally lost my second pair of these. Does anyone know what they are called and/or how I can replace it? Thank you so much for any help

Just getting into the hobby, brought a beautiful second hand 300 litre aquarium. When transported the corner was chipped off, front of the tank. The silicon layer in the tank Is intact and it holds water as far as I can tell. Is this usable or reparable? Thanks all!

I have an old 120 I was going to use as a sump in the basement. As you can see there is damage where a previous owner removed baffles and left cracks and gouges out of the acrylic. I was going to patch all these with weld on and 1/4" acrylic before adding my own baffles back in, but I wanted a...

Hi @_AV , I am hoping that you can help me. I was watching your videos on Youtube and I think that I have a good idea of what happened but you are the expert. :) Below is my parts list and then the explanation. Apex A2 EB832 Qty: 4 Trident Qty: 3 FMM Qty: 2 WXM The other day I had a float...

My question is does anyone now the size of the bearings in the MP 60 and where the best place to buy them are?

I have a clarisea sk 5000 that gave the motor shorting error code. I followed the instructions on the website stating that most issues have to do with a wire disconnecting, but that wasn't the case for me. Looking around online, replacement motors would cost close to $200 to ship to the US. I...

So I got this 75 gallon used. It has some chips on the edges. Any way I can fix them? Or be worried about the tank failing?

So I have a reputation with my friends at being alright at fixing electronics so it came as no shock when one of them asked me to swap the lens on their ai prime. Well 10 minutes and a beer later it was fixed as I’ve done a few of these but this is by far the worst I’ve ever seen. Anybody have...

My R0-DC-5500S has a crack where the red base plate rests. It is safe to use? Any repair necessary?

Ok, so bought an almost new IM120 from local hobbyists. As he was emptying, presumably because he emptied front chamber completely before emptying the back chamber, the acrylic separated from reinforcement glass wall behind it in three places (see pic for one such deformation). So, need to...

Hello and merry christmas! I wanted to share my project over the last few days. No one in my personal life cares about it so I was hoping I could show off my hardwork to some people that might appreciate it. Haha. About 6 years ago I decided to add a tank to an old exterior window before the...

Hi all, I just started my new adventure with nano reef hobby and looks like didn't started well. I have this tank with a damage on the bottom corner. what do you thing, is it possible to repair it ? it is a 20-25 gallon tank Thanks in advance.

So, it is bound to happen to all of us, eventually, if you have an old tank in operation. This happened on my old LeeMars 125 gallon that I have had for many many years. Acquired new bout 20 years ago or so to be sort of exact. This happened the day after I returned from a 10-day absence while...

I got protein skimmer Reef Concepts Aerofoamer 1612. I was washing it and accidentally lost the O rings when dumping water into sewage. do you by any chance what is dimension for the O-rings ? I am sure I can get them on Amazon.

I'm planning to polish my hazy aquarium glass with cerium oxide. Looked at the glass polishing kits on Amazon but most of them seem to come with wool pads which I've read can be too aggressive and would need to be followed by a softer material, like the cloth buffing wheel mentioned in this...

So far, no water has leaked out. Red Sea has given me a new tank in exchange, but I would still like to think I can keep this one running. Is it okay to squirt silicone into the seam – while inside the water? Will that kill the corals or fish? If I should do something else, what would you...

I have a local reefer with a SRO-2000int that I am interested in, but the pipe that goes from the skimmer body to the pump is busted. Has anyone repaired something like that before, and what parts did you use?

I have a sea side aquatics coral viewer that has a slow leak. the viewer starts to fill up with water over 15-30 minutes when floating on the water. What can I use to repair the coral viewer?

So I have this nice 150 gallon tank but the glass has a big chip in the corner. I was able to get a new piece of glass the exact size and I am planning to switch the panels out (the big side panel). ive never changed aquarium glass before let alone a massive one like this. Is there anything I...

A couple weeks ago, my tank started leaking from the bottom seam, kicking off a lovely two weeks from hell. That's another story, but now the old tank is sitting on my back patio, taking up space. So what do you do with the tank after it's no longer functional? Attempt to repair and sell it...
