Nice

Its dripping, but very little now, getting less and less i think.. The tank is now at 22c, so if it drips tomorrow, its a leak, a very very small one.. In 24h it has dripped 1 liter.

Lets see a full tank shot

Il take a full tank shot tomorrow maybe, there is nothing new under the sun since last pictures, its just a box, not holding water hehe.. Well, i think i might discovered why it leaks.. The seams in the bottom has dropped a little, not much, but still enough to maybe make a crack somewhere. I am now draining this ****, takes houres.. I will support more under where the seams are and put a few more layers on the bottom afterwards..If it doesnt hold water then, i dont understand anything.. I thought that the fiberglass would prevent cracking in the epoxy works tho..To look for the cracks is near impossible on this black color.

Why would the seams shift? Did you cover it with fiberglass?

 

[Tor-Eriik]

Everthing is covered with fiberglass on this tank.

Heres a few pics, too keep u all in here hehe! Picture of new addition(still at the store), from the testfilling the weekend that was(failed),the under tank for fry that i resiliconed this weekend, and how the main tank looks with the lights. I have 2 more of those lamps, but i dont want to much light, amazonas this is.

Nice tank, once this bloat is sea worthy you should add a huge shoal of red belly piranhas especially if you want an amazon tank!!! You could have atleast 75 of them, you could throw a cow in there and hed be gone in minutes!! Keep us posted

Wow, this is really bad luck as this build looked quite bullet proof. I am surprised that you can see/notice that the seams have dropped though.
Fiberglass really improves rigidity but if the is design fault any movement will result in cracking.
Do you know how the floor seam could sag or move even slightly?
