Re: tank sprung leak. what to do?

Post by J-P »

do a quick search on you tube and laminate the the corner in question. Cutting glass is not as hard as it looks. I did it a few times, and once did a lamination.
if you follow me, you avoid stepping in the crap that I just did...

take a pic.... but I will be off to bed soon. I can't reply for another 24 hours.

Others may chime in, but replacing the tank may be your only option. Check craigs list or your local classifieds. If you need a quick patch, laminate the glass over the cracks until you can get a new tank. This is weeks... not years ;)

So you aren't really looking for help with the tank? (You've already re-used the cracked tank for your anoles.)

At this point, you're trying to find a home for your puffer, right? Did you post it in the classifieds here? Where are you located?

The thread shouldn't be deleted, actually. You should post your original title and question, and at the bottom just say it's been fixed. Then, tell us your solution. It's so other members can benefit from the thread.

Thanks!
