My Tank Thread
My Aquarium Showcase
That’s a good plan, dealing with the issue before it gets too bad!! I’m excited even though it’s basically the same as this tank.Alright here’s the deal: my current tank is over a decade old and was built REALLY REALLY crappy. The plumbing system…the overflows, the sock is getting its water from laundry machine pipes…and it’s only hand pressure that’s holding it in place. The acrylic brace even broke last week…because they literally used silicone, and the silicone is also peeling from the inside of the tank.
I was aware of a few of these problems, but I really wanted to fix things BEFORE I got a tank crash. I believe being proactive can prevent most of the failures. So I’m working on getting a new tank (same sized) built in the same place as this tank. We will do the switcheroo when the time comes. Luckily, my tank is not in critical condition yet, so it’s a perfect time to do this.
I found a good company and they seem very reasonable. I will discuss my plans, based off my experiences and troubles with my current tank. I’m also going to make a thread so I can get a good system and NOT getting scammed like my grandfather did when he first build this house & tank.
