Hey guys,
I bought a 112 gallon L shaped aquarium about a month ago. It's still sitting here dry. I was going to fill it and get it running today but decided 3 of the seams need some reinforcement. So I'm under the impression I can take a piece of acrylic and bond it to each seam with weld on 16? It's kinda weird cause all the inside seams the run top to bottom seem to have the most stress. So should I do the rest of the seams or just do the 3 I was thinking of doing? Reason for my paranoia? I live in a manufactured home and when the floor gets wet its like cardboard. So I just want to make it leak proof. Any suggestions would be helpful.
 
Now I understand why no one had suggestions. I got some acrylic pieces from Tapp Plastics and some weld on 16. It was pretty messy and there are some smears. I'm hoping I can use novus to remove some of those smears. I definitely will sleep better now with those seams reinforced. Guess the only time I wouldn't do it is it the tank was brand new and had a warranty. Anyways this weekend I will be filling the tank up and begin the cycle. Can't hardly wait!
