Yes, it has come in handy a few times for me. Cam

@@GalleryAquaticaTV Thank you! 😎👍

Thank you for watching Dean! We missed it the first time round too! Our videographer must be so amused!

We will definitely do an update at some point. Cam

Thanks for watching Kaity!

So true, it’s the stuff of nightmares. Cam

I hope so too. The good thing is we can see the silicone seam and monitor for further problems. Cam

Worth getting a bucket of water over Cam’s head 😂

Glad you enjoyed it, cheers :)

Thnxs cam

Lol, it’s a decent drop😉 Cam

I’ve seen it happen a few times, there are not many worse scenarios. Cam

Thank you mate! cheers!

Thank you, it would be a nightmare if it let go. Cam

Yes, I’m planning on doing one in the next few weeks actually! Cam

Interesting, I’ll look it up. Cam

No problem😊 Cam

No problem, thanks for watching😊 Cam

Thanks for watching! Cam

Possibly, but if it is anything more than a slow drip I’d need to empty the tank for a proper fix. Cam

The tank is made of 12 mm glass. I should have put full length blades on it from the start. Cam

Thx!

You are correct. Yes I did check the other side. The silicone is perfectly in-tact on the other side. Cam

It’s got three Kessils, which we set to white to film and work on

If it’s up to 24 inches high it is normally 10mm (just over 3/8 inch). However this is assuming it is well braced. If it’s rimless you usually need to go almost double that. Cam

Yes, it’s amazing how far the water travels, it would be end to end in our shop. Cam

Hi Mel, I think I’ll try and keep that tank going until we move into a new building, hopefully in the next year or 2. Cam

It’s holding so far. There hasn’t been any increase in the size of the bubble in the silicone so I’m calling it a success. Cam

@@GalleryAquaticaTV will you do a follow up video ...?

@@vincentprezioso9190 Probably not, but you’ll see the tank in videos we film at that shop. Cam

Side panels are just as likely to suffer this problem, especially when people are careless with razor scrapers. Monitor the seams and worry if you see a change in the thickness. Cam

Then you have to wait till it starts dripping to know it’s about to burst. Cam

that's terrifying lol@@GalleryAquaticaTV

Oh no!

Good advice, I’ve seen many silicone seams damaged by scraper blades. Cam

@@GalleryAquaticaTV I bought a opticlear tank couldn't believe how crap the build was beveled edges on every pane of glass they don't need to be bevelled under the silicone and I have had 12 systems never had a tank ever built around a base plate so I braced it and then I braced every single edge with aluminium angle so it's braced every were inside and out

And you did, maybe not the nozzle bit but hey, lol

Thanks mate, I’m always keen for tips on stuff like this. Cam

Good question. I’ve used it a few times in reef tanks and not seen any ill effects. I always monitor the tanks afterwards just in case. Cam

@@GalleryAquaticaTV to be fair the oils released from regular window silicone isn't that toxic to aquatic life (from memory) and with a protein skimmer running in conjunction with fresh carbon I doubt anything would happen. The real issue is anti microbial agents added to some silicones to prevent mould etc in people's homes. However, if they are present this is always stated on the package. Happy reefing!
