I dont beleive this is going to last allot but I will wait to see! hope nothing happens and you see the problem before it starts leaking! good luck guys love your videos

I hope so too. The good thing is we can see the silicone seam and monitor for further problems. Cam

Good to hear those live rock musicians aren't being held captive in your tank. Almost missed the disclaimer there - good one! I watch 99% of your videos and always look forward to when a new one has been posted.

Hey Cam, love your channel and all you do for reefing...thanks! Can you please do a show on the LaMotte water tester I see you using occasionally. Thanks!

Yes, I’m planning on doing one in the next few weeks actually! Cam

Awesome video Cam and admit it was challenging for me to watch given the subject :) How thick is the glass on the aquarium you added the blades to?
@GalleryAquaticaTV Рік тому
The tank is made of 12 mm glass. I should have put full length blades on it from the start. Cam

Great vid, I wish I found it 12 months ago, as my thousand litre tank did leak, by the time I got home three quarters was on the floor, so I lost all my coral and most fish, we tried to fix it 3 or 4 times even got a glazier in, he tried twice, long story short it turned out to be the stand, which eroded away,

Do rimless tanks succumb to pressure more in your opinion? Or is it the quality of the manufacture and silicone construction? Thanks!

Hi Cam, I am a huge fan of your videos, I am a hobbiest from India it has been 3 years now since I started my tank and you have been a big influence, Thank for all that you do...I love everything saltwater and wish to be able to do what you do someday🤞

@joshua_w Рік тому
Great idea. If a slow drip did start would that product be able to repair it.
@GalleryAquaticaTV Рік тому
Possibly, but if it is anything more than a slow drip I’d need to empty the tank for a proper fix. Cam
@ericsfishingadventures4433 Рік тому
This is one of the hobbies worst nightmares. Here in the US brs sells a product called, Orca Underwater Glue by Aquarium Munster. I'm pretty sure it's German made so it might be available down under. It's definitely not great for out of water use. But I've seen great success with underwater for leaks and seals in an emergency. But these are great tips gallery!
@GalleryAquaticaTV Рік тому
Interesting, I’ll look it up. Cam
@mikeym7609 Рік тому
Maybe you should put a disclaimer on this. “Don’t try this at home folks”🤣 I am sorry I know you can use some sealants underwater but most sealant need at least a clean service to make it last. You don’t get that by wiping a bit of sand out of the way. I keep my fingers crossed for you mate that this will last a long time.
@OnlyFinsReef Рік тому
Hey Cam, what are you lighting that aquarium with? Looks very natural
@GalleryAquaticaTV Рік тому

@thestanwalker3512 Рік тому
Did you check the back side of the tank as well? It has the same stress as the front side and is equally at risk of failure.
@GalleryAquaticaTV Рік тому
You are correct. Yes I did check the other side. The silicone is perfectly in-tact on the other side. Cam
@Heavens-Humanaterian-Army Рік тому
Hey cam do you have any plans to invest in a new tank...or a well done rebuild with upgraded blades and bracess...the tank is the most important investment to build upon like getting the best possible foundation for your new home...pricy bust worth it in the long run.
@GalleryAquaticaTV Рік тому
Hi Mel, I think I’ll try and keep that tank going until we move into a new building, hopefully in the next year or 2. Cam
@AQUARIUMFREAK123 16 днів тому
i want to buy a standard size 125 gal tank.. How thick should i expect the glass to be in inches for it to be considerd safe ?
@GalleryAquaticaTV 16 днів тому
If it’s up to 24 inches high it is normally 10mm (just over 3/8 inch). However this is assuming it is well braced. If it’s rimless you usually need to go almost double that. Cam
@tonyaclark1570 Рік тому
What about side panels? I was looking at my tank and it looks like my corner silicate looks thinner to me. Or maybe it's just my old eyes
@GalleryAquaticaTV Рік тому
Side panels are just as likely to suffer this problem, especially when people are careless with razor scrapers. Monitor the seams and worry if you see a change in the thickness. Cam

I euroblace all my tanks top and bottom I would never have a braceless tank infact I bought one and braced it my self you have to watch out with razor blade glass scrapers on a braceless
@GalleryAquaticaTV Рік тому
Good advice, I’ve seen many silicone seams damaged by scraper blades. Cam
@patterdalezipsuzilil Рік тому
@@GalleryAquaticaTV I bought a opticlear tank couldn't believe how crap the build was beveled edges on every pane of glass they don't need to be bevelled under the silicone and I have had 12 systems never had a tank ever built around a base plate so I braced it and then I braced every single edge with aluminium angle so it's braced every were inside and out
@damiandeans9265 Рік тому
You had the tip of your nozzle around the wrong way dude, will work better if you put the angled cut secion against the surface youre siliconing, also, put it on the bench/ladder whatever and do it with two hands, much better finish that way and more control,, just trying to help,
@damiandeans9265 Рік тому
And you did, maybe not the nozzle bit but hey, lol

@thesealab8947 Рік тому
Are you sure it's aquarium safe? Selleys don't specifically say like they do with some of their products.
@GalleryAquaticaTV Рік тому
Good question. I’ve used it a few times in reef tanks and not seen any ill effects. I always monitor the tanks afterwards just in case. Cam
@thesealab8947 Рік тому
@@GalleryAquaticaTV to be fair the oils released from regular window silicone isn't that toxic to aquatic life (from memory) and with a protein skimmer running in conjunction with fresh carbon I doubt anything would happen. The real issue is anti microbial agents added to some silicones to prevent mould etc in people's homes. However, if they are present this is always stated on the package. Happy reefing!
@user-um7tr5up1t Місяць тому
longest explanation on earth about some air bubbles being an obvious sign of premature failure. Loved the part where he explains how water will flow out of the failed area and onto the floor. Very informative. I had no idea water will actually leak out of a failed area and onto the floor especially in a rushing fashion.
@kickassclone75 Рік тому
if the seamsarent clear you got issues its as simple as that. Most people havent a clue and even when they see an obvious change they dont stop to ask why that change ocurred. I didnt bother to watch the video because I already know this. Thats how I buy aquariums for pennies a gallon ans resell them for multiple dollars a gallon after I rreseam and reseal them.
