Well, this morning found my Kamoharai dead. Was fine last night. It made it's self into fish jerky. I had a new addition on Monday March 4, a Yellow tang from algae barn. The third one i received and it survived the shipping finally.
So about a month ago, I had a disaster with the tank. Not a major disaster (like having water everywhere or having a major fish kill). The top rim supports broke. The night before I had heard a loud noise like plastic breaking. I just rode it off like nothing happen. The next morning I was doing some maintenance on the tank and noticed the screen tops were not setting properly and squared. Then I saw the nightmare. Time to run around like a headless chicken. My wife had told me that "earlier that morning she also heard a loud cracking noise.I had to get a lot of water out and into my Brute trash cans. That had bought me some time. Then I had to do an emergency build with the @Waterbox Aquariums 100.3 that I had not put together yet, that I had won in the raffle on R2R. Once that was done, I had to start transferring all the live rock into the Brutes and into the other tank. Everything was a success. Then I started overtime transferring the Apex over to the new tank. I'm just glad I had caught it early.
What would I use to bond it to the plastic rim?I would think you would want that to be a full perimeter brace. Or maybe, at least, you would want some kind of adhesive to bond the angle to the plastic rim. I'm thinking that if you bump that just right, it could pop off. The water pressure pushes the glass outward so there is a slight bow that peaks in the middle (both horizontally and vertically) and so the rim would get "twisted" so that the front face of the tank, at the top, would be slightly angled backwards (and the rear face trim at top angled forward). This would tend to make it easier for that aluminum angle to pop off
Just thinking out loud
