phisigs79 June 18, 2008 Share June 18, 2008 How did that happen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VicSkimmr June 18, 2008 Author Share June 18, 2008 They built the tank, but I have no idea what caused the chip. It looked fine up until when I checked on it today :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phisigs79 June 18, 2008 Share June 18, 2008 Do you have kids? wife? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VicSkimmr June 18, 2008 Author Share June 18, 2008 I've got a wife but no kids. I'm 99.9% sure no one touched the tank in the last week. It's very odd that it would chip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phisigs79 June 18, 2008 Share June 18, 2008 So there is a chance Good luck with Glasscages but i am pretty sure they arent going to tell you what you want to here. Its possible that it was chipped and the chip fell out and then you noticed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reefmontalvo June 18, 2008 Share June 18, 2008 If you ask me. I noticed that your chip was a stress trip. Also notice the condensation in the bubbles? I believe glass cages is located in Tn, a state with more humidity than Northern Va. If you ask me I think it happen with them and now the added stress of moving it around might have casued it to chip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its possible that it was chipped and the chip fell out and then you noticed it. Nah, I inspected that tank very thoroughly before I accepted it. I know GlassCages isn't going to help at all, but it's worth a shot. I've taken every precaution I can think of to prevent anything from happening to that tank, but oh well.

phisigs79 June 18, 2008 Share June 18, 2008 I dont like the idea of all those bubbles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VicSkimmr June 18, 2008 Author Share June 18, 2008 Yeah I know, I thought it was weird to have those bubbles too. If you guys had a tank that had a chip that large taken out of it, would you trust it's integrity? I can easily cover the chip up and nobody would know, but I'm just not confident at this point that it will continue to hold water. Maybe a prolonged water test would be in order?

shawns June 18, 2008 Share June 18, 2008 i would be more concerned w/ the air in the seem. that cant hold a seal too well. do you see what i mean??? the steaky air between the panes of glass. that is a void where i woould imagine silicone SHOULD be. good luck w/ a solution!

phisigs79 June 19, 2008 Share June 19, 2008 i wouldnt trust a tank with a chip that big and the air bubbles in the silicone. Tell them to replace the silicone and do the glass while they are at it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason the filter freak June 20, 2008 Share June 20, 2008 gooood luck hope it works out for you. I like the plans you have going on though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziggy953 June 22, 2008 Share June 22, 2008 I really like the design. Clean lines I like that. How large is your stand going to be? That is a lot to put under the tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawns July 8, 2008 Share July 8, 2008 did you end up making a repair?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VicSkimmr July 10, 2008 Author Share July 10, 2008 Negative, it's still holding water like a champ. At this point I'm going to stick it out and pray that my wife doesn't kill me if we end up with 120 gallons of water on the floor, LOL! I really don't think the chip did anything structurally though, it's just an eyesore. My next project is to find some thing to cover the corners to hide the messy silicone and the chip. Pics will follow this weekend hopefully Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
