The fish tank is leaking, I don t know where it is leaking?

Generally, if the fish tank is leaking, the outside does not come out, and most of the water leaks at the bottom.

Because there is a layer of Styrofoam shockproof at the bottom of the fish tank, it is difficult to see the exact location of the leakage due to the leakage at the bottom.

If there is a leak at the bottom, then the fish must be fished out and raised in a bucket for the time being.

The bottom of the fish tank must be cleaned to fill the leakage, first scrape off the glass glue at the bottom of the inner surface, wipe it clean with alcohol, and then re-apply the glass glue after drying.

You can turn the fish tank upside down and put it in a large basin and go over it completely to see what bubbles up there.

An aquarium fish tank is a container for water, and it is generally large, a fish tank with a length of 120 cm can hold more than 200 liters of water, and its weight is more than 200 kilograms. If something as heavy as this leaks, it can be very dangerous, not only harming the aquarium creatures, but also causing people trouble.

"The 7,000-yuan fish tank suddenly leaked, and the fish that cost more than 30,000 yuan died directly in the morning. Mr. Li, a citizen, encountered such an encounter. He said that he bought a total of 6 fish tanks, and after using them for more than a year, 4 of them have broken down, and this time the consequences are the most serious.

In the conference room of Mr. Li's company, an office building on Fuzhou South Road, there are 6 fish tanks, and 5 of them have at least one arowana swimming around, which looks very beautiful under the illumination of the lights. 

The lid of the light tube on the top of the cracked and leaky fish tank has been opened, and the water inside is gone. The tank is about a meter long and topped by a glass part that holds water, with a height of about 60 centimeters and a width of about 50 centimeters. Underneath is a black cabinet with a pump and heater to keep the water in the tank circulating.

Mr. Li said that the pipe under the tank of this fish tank cracked directly, and half a ton of water ran out, causing the Arowana to die of lack of oxygen. 

The Arowana that died due to lack of oxygen was placed next to it, Mr. Li said that this is an authentic red Arowana, which was bought and raised for more than a year, and now has a length of 57 centimeters, and a merchant bid more than 30,000 yuan, but he did not sell it. 

So what should we do if the fish tank is leaking? First of all, there are several situations of fish tank leakage: one is that the joints of the fish tank are glued, and water seeps out or leaks.

This situation is more common and it is also the slightest kind of water leakage, but it is very troublesome, and the fish tank will continue to flow outward, making the surroundings wet. If this happens, you can't sit idly by, and you need to fix it in time to avoid the leakage from expanding. To repair such a fish rainbow, we must first figure out the leakage, and then remove the fish and other things in the tank, put the water clean, and after the fish tank is dry, use a glue gun to pour the glass glue into the leakage point, and then coat 1 layer of glass glue on the outside, and the fish tank can be used after 1 day.

If the leakage of the fish tank is very slight, and the tank is inconvenient to move, you can also use glass glue to repair it outside, and apply the glass glue from the outside to the leakage until it does not leak. Although this method is convenient, it can only be used for very minor water leaks, and serious water leaks must be kept dry before they can be repaired. 

Another type of leakage is the appearance of cracks in the glass, which is mostly caused by the collision of the glass This crack is very dangerous, if not treated in time, it will cause the fish tank to burst. The only way to deal with it is to dry the fish tank, coat the cracks with glass glue inside and out, seal them, and preferably stick a glass on the outside. Of course, this repair will affect the aesthetics of the aquarium, if it is acceptable on the inconspicuous back or side, if it is on the front, I am afraid that the fish tank will have to be scrapped.

Such a sticky fish tank is not very reliable, if it can be replaced, it should be replaced in time. 

If it is determined that the bottom glass is cracked, then drain it and paste an extra layer of glass, but it will take a long time for the glass glue to dry.

But no, then:

The landlord first carefully looked at the structure of his fish tank, and the situation was divided into four types: one is to sit at the bottom, one is to cover the bottom, and there is the bottom with the edge of the bottom and the bottom.

Bottom-sitting type: The four-sided glass is vertically glued to the bottom glass, if so, the landlord first wipes off the leaking water outside the fish tank, and then applies newspaper to each glue (glass bonding) to see the wet.

Bottom-sitting type: The four-sided glass encloses the bottom glass. In this way, it is troublesome, to suspend the fish tank, and then spread the newspaper to see the ** wet, for the sake of insurance, to pump out the water and then suspend it, otherwise there is a certain possibility of bursting the tank. . .

Edging means that the fish tank glass is bonded out and wrapped with other materials or glass, for the sake of beauty, but then the adhesive strip is not visible. If you are willing, you will remove the edge wrapping on the edge, and then refer to the above. . . However, there is also a function of edging is to increase the pressure resistance of the fish tank, there is a small possibility that the tank will burst when you remove the edging...

Look where it is wet, and then get some white flour and apply a layer, if it is wet, it means that it is leaking.

Hey, it doesn't matter if he leaks, he can't make up for it! Just buy one that doesn't leak out.

1.If you can't find the leakage point if the fish tank is leaking, you can fish out the fish, dry the fish tank, and then re-glue.

2.If the glue is still leaking after plastering, it means that the live joint is loose or cracked, and it should be checked and replaced in time.

3.It should be noted that fish tanks have a lifespan, and they generally need to be replaced after about five years, because the risk of water leakage and tank explosion will increase.

4.In order to ensure the safety of the fish tank, it is best to stretch it, which can prevent the tank from bursting.

Drain the water in the fish tank first, clean and dry the fish tank to find out the cause of the water leakage. Generally, the leakage of the fish tank is the cracking of the adhesive sand hole or the glue pasted at the glass bond.

Solution: In the place where there is a water leak, the inside and outside of the fish tank should be marked with acidic transparent large plate glue. After 36 hours, the fish tank is full for a 36-hour test. If there is no leakage, the fish tank can be used.

Fish tank leakage generally depends on what position, if it is the lowest position, it is recommended to replace the fish tank, if it is on the side, it is recommended to use new glass glue on the side can continue to use.

Because many small acrylic fish tanks are produced using templates, if such a fish tank is leaking, it is difficult for us to see cracks and other things from the surface, but we can see a lot of bubbles on the inner wall of the fish tank, this is because we usually maintain the surface of the fish tank, accidentally scratch these places.

Of course, this method is also very simple, we only need to use glue to fill the damaged area. For larger fish tanks, this method is not possible, because this kind of fish tank is often manufactured by bonding, and the parts of water seepage are often the parts of the bonding, and the adhesive will fall off after too long.

If the crack is relatively small, we can directly fill it with super glue, but if the crack is relatively large, it is best to find a special maintenance personnel to repair it.

Our aquarists may encounter the problem that they can't stick with glue, which is likely to be that the adhesive used in the fish tank when it leaves the factory is not the same as the adhesive we used when repairing it later, resulting in the acrylic fish tank can not withstand the high water pressure after filling the water and cracks, if the conditions allow, we had better add a frame to the fish tank, so that the fish tank can be well protected and make it look more beautiful.

Treat each case on a case-by-case basis.

Fish tank leakage is generally between two pieces of glass, glass glue leakage. You need to drain all the water in the fish tank and re-apply the glass glue.
