Sorry if this has been asked before, but can I get in my aquarium to fix the stand pipe in overflow? I finally got it up and running and the stand pipe in the overflow on left side fell over and its SOOOO loud. I'm pretty skinny but cant fit between the tank and wall. And I figured stopping in it would be better than laying across it. Having a tall tank is all fun and games until something like this happens.

It is an aqueon 210 1/2 inch glass

I am not an expert but I would say no. Your putting weight in one place versus dispersed across the pane.

I would not risk it but there are some builders here who would know more

That's what I was thinking. Itll hold 3k lbs of water sand and rock but my 150 in one spot could be bad. Maybe I can get creative with some really long needle nose pliers.

I’ve done it in my 180g (1/2” glass) and in my 400g (3/4”glass) without thinking twice. I’m 6’5” and 240lbs. Just my input of course
