Hello everyone, about the fish tank, the master who understands glass, the master who makes the fish

Is 8mm enough, I made a 70 30 60 cylinder, the people in the glass shop said to use 1 work, the 8mm will burst the cylinder (I don't know, anyway, I think the thicker the better, personal opinion) I am the glass shop people to do, they said to do a week, but also in the drying for a week, to ensure that the fish tank is firm, the 4 corners of the tank to be reinforced, stretching I think the possible meaning is to pull a few 3 to 4 cm of glass strips at the mouth of the tank, after you finish it is best to make a filter groove (find it on your own Internet, That should have a draft of the filter tank) glue with the glue that is generally used in my own home aluminum alloy window to stick to the glass, (I don't know what it's called) my cylinder is still in the process of being made, and I didn't get any reinforcement or anything, I spent a total of 200 fast in that store,

It's not easy to make a cylinder by yourself, at the beginning of the practice or try to make a small cylinder, not a veteran estimate that you can't make such a big cylinder. The longer the tank, the better, but I've seen posts where veterans burst after a month of making tanks.

The one-meter-five cylinder is a bit big, and it is difficult for ordinary people to get it by themselves, and they are worried that it will be troublesome if the cylinder bursts.

The glass fish tank is made as follows:

Tools required: glue gun, glass glue, masking paper, foam board, anything that can hold against the glass, tape, utility knife.

1. Wipe the glass and lay the foam.

The most critical step in making a fish tank is that the glass must be clean, without a little water and dust, so find a right-angled place that you can rely on, such as the wall, and place a foam board, the size of the foam board should be slightly larger than the bottom glass of the fish tank.

Second, make the back glass and the bottom glass connected.

Lay the bottom glass on the foam board, it is best to let the bottom glass be a thick distance from the wall, and put the bottom edge of the back glass with glass glue to place the back glass vertically against the wall and paste it with the bottom glass, which can have a slight backward inclination to prevent tipping over.

Use your hands to push the bottom glass and the back glass for better adhesion, smooth the glass glue by hand, or use a small bucket, a wine bottle filled with water and so on on the bottom surface to lean on the back glass. When gluing, pay attention to the force evenly, try to keep gluing, and leave no bubbles.

3. Glue two sides.

The glue method on the side is one horizontal and one vertical, which should be adhered to both the back glass and the bottom glass. Generally, after gluing the left side side so that it is close to the back and bottom glass, smooth the glass glue by hand, quickly fix the back and side glass with tape, and then use the same method to glue the other side.

Fourth, the last on the front glass of the fish tank.

Once the two sides have been glued and taped, you can remove the item that holds the back glass in place, or if you are not sure, you can use the same method to hold the two side glasses outside the tank. Glue all three sides of the front glass, directly glue the edge and bottom surface of the two sides, smooth the remaining glue by hand, and fix it with tape.

Fifth, all the glue seams are beaten again and then smoothed out, and the whole work is over.

Generally, if you make a one-meter fish tank without filtering or stretching, it will take 20 minutes to work. Look at the ** unsightly use a utility knife to sort out the excess glass glue, and wait for the glue to dry thoroughly and release the water, a one-meter fish tank can choose eight to ten thick glass.

Tempered Glass: Tempered glass fish tanks are very strong and extremely thermally stable, even if the temperature changes are very drastic, they are not easy to deform. In addition, the safety of such a fish tank is strong, and even if it is broken, its fragments do not pose a danger to people.

Float glass: This kind of glass has good flatness and is not easy to deform. And they have good transparency, which is suitable for viewing.

In addition, their structure is relatively compact and not easy to break. <

At present, the fish tanks sold on the market are basically made of glass, although there are other materials, but relatively few. Even if they are all made of glass, the differences between different glass fish tanks are relatively large. Specifically, there are two types of glass fish tanks that are better:

1. Tempered glass: Using tempered glass to make fish tanks, their strength is very good, and their thermal stability is very strong, even if the surrounding temperature changes are very drastic, they are not easy to deform. Their safety is also relatively high, even if they break in a very special environment, they will become some honeycomb-like fragments.

These flakes are not sharp and therefore do not cause harm to the human body.

2. Float glass: This kind of glass has three advantages. First of all, they have a good flatness, are not easy to deform, and are not easy to have ripples.

In addition, their transparency is generally better, because they are made of ore quartz sand as raw material, so they are relatively pure. Third, their structure is relatively tight, not easy to break, and the feel is relatively smooth.

Fish tanks can also be made from ordinary glass. At present, there are also fish tanks made of ordinary glass on the market, and their color is generally emerald green, which is relatively low. They have significant disadvantages, such as they are more prone to chipping, and they are not very transparent, so they are not easy to see; In addition, after a period of use, a more obvious aging phenomenon will be observed, and they are also relatively easy to deform.

Some farmers tend to make their own fish tanks, and the fish tanks they make are generally made of this common glass material.

Fish Tank Making Tutorial (Phase 4) How thick glass to use to make a fish tank is safe.

I've had 8 fish tanks of your size, and I've been using them for several years.

Nothing... If the fish tank is well mated.

Unless the glass glue is aged.

Otherwise, it's fine

1. First of all, you can prepare a tool, which requires a sharp glass knife and glue for bonding, which must be waterproof and strong.

2. Then design and plan according to the size of the fish tank you want to make, and estimate the three data sizes of length, width and height, which has a relatively high success rate.

3. Then use a glass knife to cut and divide the glass according to the designed size, and discharge it in a certain way to facilitate assembly.

4. Then polish and glue together between each two pieces of glass, and finally combine them into a designed open cuboid.

5. The four corners of the glass fish tank can be reinforced with brackets or rubber strips, which can not only increase the defense but also play a role in preventing water leakage.

6. The last step is to put a certain amount of water into the finished glass fish tank to see if there is any leakage, and make an inspection of the whole.

The first stage is to find a way to get a base cabinet.

This priority is the problem of cost, if you want to be cheap, you can only do it yourself, do it yourself, you have to choose the right materials, and finally choose the universal angle steel, and assemble it yourself after buying it back.

The second stage is the pasting of the master cylinder.

Sticky stretch ribs, the glass of the stretch is narrow and long, it is not easy to glue, and I found a way to fix it.

Now enter the fourth stage, the whole cylinder is commissioned.

This way the fish tank is done.

1. No matter how big the cylinder is, the order is to connect the bottom on the back first, then 2 pieces of glass on the side, and finally the front glass.

2. The principle is the principle of side wrapping bottom. The bottom must be wrapped in front and back, left and right.

3 600 cylinders 5-8 thick 800 cylinders 8-10 thick 800 pounds generally pull up on the line, according to your needs, the commonly used method of pulling pounds is the word day. Just pull it according to your own style needs.

4. There are a lot of glue, generally more than 15 pieces can be, pay attention to the colloid on the aquarium when buying. I used the Antey-189. The common Dow Corning 15 pieces a tube, the imported and vinyl Antai-188 and so on.

5. When you glue it, you only need to remember one item, and you must not paragraph, and you can not have a breath and achievements OK without leakage. As long as it is broken, it is easy to leak.
