Crazing on acrylic seams, do you think this tank will be ok?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I had crazing in this exact fashion too, I had no issues with it. The weldon gets hot as the reaction takes place so I think it cannot be avoided? Had the tank for about 2 and a half years and everything was good.


did you do all the seams? how did he crazing look with water inside.

i only did the back seam so far as the first test, the side seams just had a couple spots that had a white bubbling in the seams starting from the outside. and the intention was to do everything as a just in case, fail safe since i have this tank cleaned out, thought it doesnt truly need it. so i may not now OR just do a spot treatment where the whte bubbling is from outside and/or iniside. i bought a gallon of this stuff thinking it would just fill out w/o issue, seems so wasteful now.

I catalogued the whole process in this post: https://forum.aquariumcoop.com/topi...ank-for-an-oscar/?do=findComment&comment=6207

I developed massive air bubbles on the seams, I am not sure if I did anything wrong but some people have told me it often happens and that I would befine.The seam can be noticed since it pushes the substrate back a bit, but in places where it touches water, it becomes invisible (aside for bubbles if you develop any)
