Hey everyone,
I just received a custom aquarium after having a RS 250 G2 seam start failing, and have some questions about the build of the tank I received.
I would appreciate if the comments were kept to tank builders or people very knowledge about builds and structural strength.
42" long, 19" wide, 20" tall.
12mm glass bottom, 10mm everywhere else.
Euro bracing TOP and BOTTOM.
The aquarium sits on OSB board, and then sits on a welded steel square tubing stand.
I did the livestock swap and noticed after that only the corners of the tank (one corner just barely) is contacting the stand.
There is a 0.030" gap between the board and the steel stand in the dead centre, front side and back side, that spans about 2 feet and tapers to smaller gaps until the corners.
That's about a credit card sized gap at the worst spot.
The tank is level.
The builder said the tank is overbuilt and this shouldn't be an issue and he isn't concerned, but I would like some other opinions.
Silicone used is Tremco Proglaze
Thank you so much!
