I know some of you have been looking for one for a while now due to manufacturer shortages so first come first serve.

Best invention ever from the Japanese after Sushi…

Took him a long time to finally learn to build the tanks properly but because he ran into a bad batch of builds because the silicone mfg. changed their formula without his knowledge, he got sued out of business. Now, everyone have one less choice on the west coast for tank builders…lol. This is...

The overflow seal silicone when done properly should be between the glass just like the regular main sides. That’s where the main sealing is done. The bead of silicone you see on the outside of the overflow box is just for esthetic purpose since silicone doesn’t bond to acrylic well. In the case...

Totally agreed. Including the emergency drain too.

BTW…I had returned several tanks with this exact same issue to CDA in the early years. Hopefully this is not one of them that he resold without repairing it.

Also, based on how your tank was assembled, you’re not going to be able to reliably fix that leaky seal without completely disassembling the entire overflow box and reseal it. Your next best course of action is to ditch ALL the thread/slip bulkheads and use slip/slip instead and cement all the...

Not from the coach to the fridge?

Anyone else here is a runner? Or am I the only nut job here?

Nothing a little WD40 couldn’t fix.

Thank You! Nipples are rock solid. Put in too many miles so they are just balls of callus now.

Thanks guys! I am still on that runner’s high right now so I feel a bit silly after making this post…

I think I saw you! Were you wearing a pink tutu with a clown make-up? He was standing in the chair too! Kept winking at me the whole time
