As the title says, we just got a 120 off of CL today! We got it delivered around 5 today, (that's right, free delivery. Pretty lucky considering we have a 2 door escort) and the tank is damn near frozen. I know enough to not throw water into it right away because of the swell of the joints and glass, but I have no idea when it's safe to fill it up. I'm sure some of you northern folks have had this issue too and maybe have some idea of time frame. Thanks!
New 120g! Have a quick question...
- Thread starter creativityasaweapon
- Start date
I know when i lived in Northern Ohio, I would bring it inside and let it set in house over night, should be fine in morning, or let it stand until you can put hand on it and leave it there "do not get frost bite" lol and then try adding water, cool water (not 70 degree) slowly
Ive bought my share of tanks of CL.
RESEAL TANK WITH NON MOLD RESISTANT SILICONE!!!!
Trust me, over time every tank needs to be resealed, do it now and ur good for 5+ years!!
5$ tube at walmart (clear or blk) just put beads on all seams and take finger and smear up wiping of excess with paper towel, thicker the better! And if ur adding air lines for bubbles now is a good time to silicone in corners so u dont see any tubing!! Let dry 1-2 hours!
Goodluck!
