The old tank of Cedric was removed so that a new 200 x 80 x 80 cm tank can take its previous place. The goal is to install the sump into the basement. For this purpose, drillings have to be made. The gluing of the tank will be done by my buddy Rudi.

I’ve been a plumber for 26 years. I’ll tell you right now Ruddy knows what he’s doing. There’s nothing I would do differently, excellent work

@RogueAquariums 2 года назад

Tobias, your friend Rudi did an excellent job in glueing that tank. He was methodical and it shows by the glue joints.

Why is the bottom made of two parts? Did you add a small piece of glass at the bottom where the two sides meet?

Me too! Around here the bottom is first and the sides sit on top.

@martijnvanbeek4387 2 года назад

@@powerfool650 Maybe true for smaller tanks but with large tanks like these that have thick glass sides the weight of the panes is too great to place them safely on top op the bottom.

I have never seen a bulkhead installation like that but its the best one I have ever seen. But it would make transporting an assembled tank much more complex.

@basilbiscuit9817 Год назад

Isn't it worth making a V shaped jig (like a saw horse) to hold the glass sides.? When you place the glass in the V jig they should sit together in the bottom of the V without you holding them until they are set.glued. If you make the jig V more than 90degs you can shim up the glass plates until they are perfectly 90 degs. this seems a better technique esp if you are on your own.

@MrPrentissDJones 2 года назад

I have a question, why did he use two panels for the bottom of the aquarium? Creating a seam in the center... is this considered a false bottom and then another sheet of glass the entire length of the aquarium is added on top? I know ELOS aquariums are double glazed/bottom sheets of glass.

@seafriendlyreef 2 года назад

I have to ask Rudi again but I think the tank has much more stability this way. For aquariums over a certain size, this is often done to prevent the weight from breaking the glass.

@joedasilva38 11 месяцев назад

I have a 12 foot long aquarium with 1 inch thickness. It stood for yrs without any problems.

@djt7387 10 месяцев назад

Did you use a brace? And was the construction seal the same silicon as the internal seal?

@danieltaylor757 Год назад

Very nice! Question, why 2 pieces for the base piece of glass?

@seafriendlyreef Год назад

This reduces the pressure on the pannel and maximises the flexibility :)

@Teardropbrut 2 года назад

I was surprised seeing the side glasses rest on the base and the side panels siliconed the from their sides. But I guess it makes sense since with the water pressure there're less shearing forces if the sides were attached on top of the bottom glass.

@danieltaylor757 Год назад

The bottom glass was installed after the rear glass and 1 end was installed. The sides and end glass where not sitting on the base, the base glass was installed inside the 4 glass walls

@bluerider0988 2 года назад

That was impressive to see the tank getting glued together. Does it get braced at all while curing? Looking forward to seeing more on this build.

@seafriendlyreef 2 года назад

Thank you do much and yes it will braced a little bit :)

@npe102 10 месяцев назад

Awesome video! Planning on building something similar myself (~8'). I get the concept of using 2 sections of glass for the floating base. But, I'd rather have a double thickness base myself, so I think I'll have a bottom layer in 2 sections and an upper layer in 3 sections. Hopefully, that'll help add a little flex/shock-absorption if it's required... I just wondered about what type of bracing you added afterwards? And did you brace the bottom of the tank too? Many Thanks!@@seafriendlyreef

@bijufrancis4284 Год назад

Hi bro. Very good job. I wanted to ask you what is the type of silicon sealant (black coloured one) you use for this type of big tanks. I ask this because i have a similar big tank in my home which is right now leaking from the bottom panels. Presently the tank can hold only half the tank. if i make it full, it starts to leak. The tank have a height of 4-5 feer approx. what you recommend. Thanks in advance.
