PArt one
So, I found this 40 gal long aquarium for 60 bucks with a bunch of stuff and a stand on craigslist. and I'm thinking "hey I can find a use for that! Maybe a mudskipper brackish tank.. or something, I must have it"
It turns out that the aquarium was waaaaaayyyy out in the middle of nowhere prineville oregon, an hour from where I live in Bend.. but still hey, what the heck, I'm up to see what this is. I meet the seller at the grocery store in town because he says "directions are a little tricky" To which I reply no worries, I have a GPS, just give me the address" No, He insists on meeting me to follow him so I do.-I get there.. Follow him out of town where the deer and antelope play.. out into nowhere- the land of the prineville resevoir. We go offroad ten minutes in a maze of trails to get to his house. Check the tank out, sold! This is no rockstar tank yet.. but I can work with it.. it's worth the $. Wonderful people too!
PArt two
After we load the tank into my Jeep (and thank god for the Jeep Liberty) I realize that I had failed to pay attention to the exact route we traveled to get to his house down that maze of Dirt roads.. "no worries" I think, I have a GPS
Turn it on and head for home.. I notice that it wants to take me a slightly different way than the way I got there and the cattle gates gps and I passed through only confirmed that we were taking a smarter short cut and more direct path for about 45 minutes of what looked like a jeep commercial and thought.. "How bad could it get? I hate to give up. I did the best I could but my new aquarium got dinged twice by the iron stand it came with.. and please.. I know it's because of me.
Part three.. Home atlast!
What!@#$%!@$%
MFK'ER!!!!!!!
I chipped the aquarium glass on this tank about 5 inches from the top.
it's not glass that's directly in the seam. so there's a seal inside, just a chip outside on the edge, weakening it.. I'm thinking a strong two part epoxy to just seal the chip in there and when that dry's some aquarium sealant. Any luck with this.. Maybe you can see from the picture. I haven't cleaned the tank yet and the picture sucks. But please help
