Tank Help

[scubasteve]

need someone close by to give me a hand in the next couple days as i gotta lift my 125 and set it on the floor on foam so i can start the process of re-construction wont be just a re-seal this time so if you want to give a hand moving it and stripping and cleaning it im sure a couple racks of ribs and a case of beer will hit the spot nicely

Not always an option to stick around but don't mind helping lift a corner if needed. Let me know when you plan to move it and I will see what I can do.

 

[derrick orosz]

Depending on when your planning on doing i could probably help

 

[davesolo29]

I can give you a hand with the move also.

its not too heavy me and brother in law put it on stand no problem its more the cutting apart with fishing line then razor blades and solvents to get it spick and span lol. Once clean i can brace and seal myself think im going to use black and inject the seams then seal interior this time, since it seams to be how the pros are doing it nowadays.... will be ordering a new top and bottom frame dont think it will hold rimless but thats all another post

Good luck with the re-seal Steve. I wish I could help but I'm working all week. I would have been very interested in doing it so I could see how it was done and learn a bit while there. I always like hands-on learning.

torx showed me a way to make seperting the seams easier,use a heat gun or even a hair dryer,it softens the silicone
nicley and i use this method to this day

 

[bart84]

What if you did a eurobrace ?

 

[TORX]

Heating the seals really does help and makes the silicone more pliable. So much easier.

oh ya i will be doing that and i found that 30lb braided fishing line slices right apart safely then scrape and scrub lile crazy

 

[scubasteve]

Im more excited to do the injection method hate when i plop a pane in place and theres an air bubble then its back to square one which sucks big time. dont matter how good you are you will get one in one of the panes somewhere even with an edged bead so this will be fun and save alot of cursing

you know anywhere to get glass cut cheap lol

 

[bart84]

Mcclellands glass in brantford did my baffles. I would imagine you talk them and see if the could use end peices from other cuts. Might get a deal. Maybe

I know a guy near milverton, all computerized bevelling, cutting and polishing! Awesome prices.

 

[Kyle1970]

Have you tried the place on bishop street? No idea on prices but very handy to get to.

If you're talking about Living Aquarium, I'm pretty sure that's his second home

 

[bart84]

Lol

 

[Kyle1970]

No there is a glass place just down the road from there.
Steve at LA tells me they do nice work.
