AquariumsDownUnder   View topic - help!

i have a 4ft x 2ft x 2.5ft tank and the other day i got home from workand found the middle support beam and the lids in the tank.
somehow it came unstuck and then fell in.
it was a hot day and the day before i did a 50% water change
the frnt glass was slightly bowing outwoods so i drained the tank
any ideas as to what caused this?
thanks

bought it second hand
3hrs away the risk you take i guess!
just need to know whats the best way to repair it

Aquarium sisilcon available at mitre 10 for $11

You can buy replacement top sections and replace it, any other sort of repair could mean a wet floor or you could use 1x2 inch lumber, build a frame around the entire outside of the tank, with a new 1X2 brace in a couple of places across the top front to back.

http://www.glasscages.com/?sAction=ViewCat&lCatID=43 this is one place that sells replacement frames

cheers guys

tank is full again seems to be holding fine
silicon is amazing stuff

Nothing quite like an $11 repair!!!!
