Acrylic tank advise

[sorloe]

Hi All,

Quick question for you. Should I be concern that one of my corner seam is turning white? I have the tank for almost a year.

I'd be a little concerned.

Maybe you can drain it down to that level, let it dry well and put a 1 or 2" squared piece of acrylic in that corner?

By no means do I know what I'm talking about, but should add some strength?

Thanks, I was concerned it would get worst. Might have to look into your suggestion.

Who made the tank and how thick is the acrylic?

Advance acrylic helped me with this build. It’s 3/4” thick but it’s a shallow tank, 36” x 24” x 12”.

This guys failed like that too. Tenecor had some input on it.

Acrylic owners…help needed

It looks like one of my acrylic tanks is failing at the seems. All 4 corners just above the water line. And a crack even at the top just off the seam. All 3 that size i have are bowing. But this one is the worst. The tank is an advanced acrylic 6x2x1 3/4 inch thick rimless. This one was setup...

Crap, I don’t want to replace my tank lol… let’s hope advance acrylic replies back.

Wow same manufacturer, is yours rimless as well?

 

[sorloe]

It’s rimless…

 

[piranhaman00]

interesting, that’s a highly regarded manufacturer, however rimless acrylic always seems sketchy to me

Edit; I was thinking Envision Acrylics nvm
