Man, I basically just had the same thing happen with a brand new 180 and when you said I dont even want to look at it I felt it in my soul. I will say after 3 days of grinding it its all fixed and behind me and it feels great. You got this man
Hey Mike, don't worry about the upload inconsistancy, we will be here waiting bud! It's clear you've got a lot to do, with all them guests and all! I for one enjoyed this video and will be eagerly awaiting the next one. Thanks a lot and good luck with the rays and leaking tank!!
You are a helluva lot calmer with these two crisis situations than I would be. Good luck getting things whipped into shape. I'm sure it will turn out fine.
@@OffTheDeepEndAquatics you ain’t kidding lol I thought mine was big but he got beat up bad by my clown knife so it stunned his growth and just accepted my L in competition 😂🤦♂️
Good video Bud. I'm kinda shocked also that the FRAG tank cracked with the way you had it setup with the tubular steel and the little frame. That seemed like it would have worked specially having the foam underneath. Acrylic Creations build it?
No it wasn't them. I'll show some video of the spot in a future video. I'm interested to see what you think. I'm fine with just blaming myself. Think I can repair it but at the same time weird it happened where it did. Definitely was a weak spot in the tank itself
Do you think its possible to make a 6x10x2.5 plywood tank by combining one 6ft and one 4ft 1/2in piece of glass for the 10ft viewing side? I plan on taking the glass from my 220 and 110 gal. Also plan on putting a viewing window on the 6ft side.
Hey Josh I want to make a all Acrylic Aquarium I have a 30 gallon but don't feel it's Big enough so I'd like a 125 or bigger how thick should the Acrylic sheet's be?
Part way into this let me say a few things. For that small surface area on those top beams? Bad idea. It's too much stress on too small of an area. Secondly, that extra weight on the tank frame for the bottom tank-youre certain it can support the vertical down force PLUS the water pressure towards the wall? 🤔 Thirdly, stand or not for that tank to crack? I wonder if in maneuvering it you did something unwittingly. If the one wall bowed out-throw your stand theory out the window. If it was due to the material or any weakness on the bottom plate, that would have gave out. The wall bowed? You had some weakness in that side. Your path of least resistance couldn't have been the bottom. If it was, that would have gave. That styrofoam? That's not doing you any favors in preventing that. That foam gives between the tank and whatever surface it's on. It's a cushion. Structural rigidity or strength? A cup of coffee will do as much good too on that note. If that thing were to fail, my guess would be along the vertical seams. 8 x 1.5ish x 2.5? 30 cu ft x 50+ lbs per? 1500 pounds or so of force. You re looking around 100lbs per inch along the seam. Take that and divide that by the glass width in inches. That's You're seam stress. If that were say half inch or so acryliic, forget it unless you reinforce it. 1500 plus pounds over 12 sq ft? 125 lbs per foot. If I recall correctly, tempered glass at a set thickness should handle that with ease. Acrylic? 😆😆😆 You wouldn't come close to its maximum strength before it warps. If you laid that thing on a slab of concrete, and filled it, you likely would have had the same exact issue unless you did something unwittingly in handling it. Unless that glass wasn't thick enough, material defect and/or a seam not having enough surface area, weak sealant....that shouldn't have happened. It bowed out? And cracked? That sounds like a stress fracture. Still, the seam would give first. Now....if it's acrylic, there is a catch to that too. There's ca$t acrylic and then there's the cheaper cellulose resin stuff. There's a way to chemically create an acrylic from cellulose, but it's not as strong. Plexiglass. 😐 A place like DuPont that casts that stuff? If it's "thinner" like I want to say under half an inch or about there...$200ish per sheet. Dr sum ting Wong. 🥴 I have sincere doubts this was due to a "stand" or "platform" issue on your part.
Laying 2 x on there side do not have the same rigidity. Plus those gaps are way to wide. Should have put the steel in the center. Hind sight is always 20/20. Really hope you can fix it.
You should probably put her your hybrid in a 40 gallon by herself and treat her for that bacterial infection baskets you can't treat otherwise you got to treat the whole tank..

Love it! No intro 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾. Level up bro. Digging the energy too. You sound energetic
Dammmm fish life not easy , keep up the grind
@ 4:20 you gained a new subscriber, honesty and taking responsibility goes a long way.
Gray kitty camouflages with gray frame of tank 🤣❤️
You are definitely winning the phantom Redtail competition by far😂😂
That thing gonna be 3' by the time Rod ends the contest 😂
@@OffTheDeepEndAquatics you ain’t kidding lol I thought mine was big but he got beat up bad by my clown knife so it stunned his growth and just accepted my L in competition 😂🤦♂️
Have you guys seen the one at OFR?
Yes the little baby ones they have 🥰 so cute and small still 😂
@@j_toledo419 mine is bigger than OFRs lol and off the deep end is winning 💯💪🏻
Best of luck.
And i think you will win Red Tail competition.
😹💪
YO CANT WAIT FOR THE NEW SETUP I BET IT WILL BE BANNGGIN
Well spotted for a slow leak.

Let’s go 1100 v2 coming! I think it will be an easy fix on the new broken tank
Would you please me know where you obtained this tank from.
Can I ask where the new tank is from
Do you think its possible to make a 6x10x2.5 plywood tank by combining one 6ft and one 4ft 1/2in piece of glass for the 10ft viewing side? I plan on taking the glass from my 220 and 110 gal. Also plan on putting a viewing window on the 6ft side.
When you fix it put pool pond liner in it
How do you fix a leaking acrylic tank?
Is that a turtle in the leaking tank?
GOD I WISH I COULD HAVE SOMEONE BUILD 1 FOR ME
was wondering do you think the flex waterproof paint stuff would work good
All you!!! But brand new call them out
Mike get you a popup swimming pool for emergency purposes..just incase.
I have one!
Hey Josh I want to make a all Acrylic Aquarium I have a 30 gallon but don't feel it's Big enough so I'd like a 125 or bigger how thick should the Acrylic sheet's be?

Dude it’s been over a month since this video is every ok????? Are you swimming in your basement??
oh no
When you uploading again missing off the deep videos. 😢
Hey Simon I'm here bro and I hear you! Thank you I'll have another video up soon!
Acrylic is too thin for that tank size
You should probably put her your hybrid in a 40 gallon by herself and treat her for that bacterial infection baskets you can't treat otherwise you got to treat the whole tank..
That sucks bud at least it's small for now. I think that other tank was pooched when you got it bud, just saying.
Nah bro this isn’t your fault if it’s something sketchy already in the area
I think you got screwed on the tank, probly the reason why you got it so cheap, the way you had it should never had broken , thats weird
This is my wifes tube sorry
There is a sealer that you can apply under water. If it starts to leak more you can buy a pool
5th
This is weird youtube math
