Our Aquarium Is Leaking

**CVT** · March 14th, 2006 09:40 AM

Our aquarium is leaking on one of its corners. Worse, the leak is positioned 1/3 from the bottom of the aquarium.

Anyone here who has experience in fixing this? Kindly share to me, please. Have tried glue gun and pioneer epoxy mix last night, after draining the aquarium and drying the spot, but was unsuccesful. TIA

box_type: thank you sir. Is this sealant available at ACE hardware? or True Value? or Federal Hardware? Can you also recommend a brand name, please?

Thanks again

BlueBimmer: thank you. Will try this tonight.

Sana buhay pa ang mga alaga kong isda.... Hindi ko kasi mapatakbo ang aerator/filter.

pero dapat drain mo yung aquarium, kelangan kasi dry ang glass before application of silicone sealant..and let the sealant set for 24 hrs.

pwede rin yung stop leak dyan. parang silicone din sya.

**graphire** · March 14th, 2006 10:27 AM

or if unsuccessful pa rin with the silicone sealant. buy brand new na lang, mura na lang naman aquariums ngayon e. What size aquarium mo and what fishes do u have?

clear silicon sealant. that's the same stuff they use to stick the glass panels together. you'd need to drain the tank or course.

there's also pioneer epoxy clay, pwede mo sya ihulma like clay after wetting it, then titigas sya after a few hours. pero ampangit ng labas nun B)

ba't di pwede iandar ung air pump? you could just dump them in a pail for the meantime -- wag lang nga masyado palakasin ung air pump at baka mahilo isda mo

Guys,- thank you for your replies. 35-40gallons yata(?) ang aming aquarium, with a big goldfish and black mollies and 1 plecosthemus... They're the only pets we have in the house....
