What to do if the old fashioned fish tank is leaking, how to fix the fish tank leakage

<> aquarium A 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. 

Just buy a bottle of sealant and stick it to the leak.

For safety, change the cylinder, or find someone to start from scratch.

If there is a leak in the fish tank, it may be caused by trachoma at the glass bond, or it is caused by the cracking of the adhesive, and the water and fish in the fish tank need to be temporarily transferred to another container, and the crack is sealed with glass glue, and it can be used again after 36 hours without leakage. In fact, if there is a leakage in the fish tank, it is because of the glued trachoma at the glass bond, or the cracking of the bonded glue, as long as the crack is glued with glass glue, it is easier to deal with.

Causes of fish tank leakage.

1. The glass is too poor: the fish tank is basically made of glass, but the glass is actually very different, and the better ones are float glass and ultra-clear glass, which not only have high transparency, but also have a certain toughness. Ordinary glass is inferior, and if the quality is not up to standard, there will be a risk of bursting.

2. Insufficient thickness: Under normal circumstances, the thickness of the fish tank glass is required, which is often related to the specifications of the fish tank, the larger the fish tank, the thicker the glass, because the water pressure of the large fish tank is also higher, if the glass is too thin, it will lead to a burst of the tank. In particular, the higher the water level, the more likely this situation is.

3. Poor placement: The placement of the fish tank also has certain requirements, and it should be avoided from being vibrated at ordinary times, otherwise it will increase the risk of bursting the tank for a long time. In addition, it also depends on its force, generally do not put something on the fish tank, otherwise it may also burst.

If there is a leak in the fish tank, it may be due to trachoma in the glass bond. Either the viscose cracks and the water and fish in the tank need to be transferred to other containers. Then clean the fish tank, glue it to the cracked part of the fish tank with glass glue, and wait for a period of time to test.

What should I do if there is a leak in the fish tank during the process of raising water? First of all, you need to temporarily transfer the water and fish in the fish tank to another container, do not pour the water directly and raise the fish in other water, otherwise the fish will not adapt.

Then clean the fish tank and dry the fish tank to find the cause of the leakage. After finding the cause, you can use glass glue to glue the cracked part of the fish tank, wait until 36 hours later, and then put it into the water to test whether the fish tank is leaking, and if it does not leak, you can continue to use it.

But in fact, if there is a leakage in the fish tank, it is generally caused by the presence of bonded trachoma at the glass bond, or the cracking of the bonded glue, as long as the crack is glued with glass glue, it is easier to deal with.

1. Find the location of the fish pond leakage first, if there are defects such as pore cracks, you should first take cement mortar to repair and smooth it, and the yin and yang corners should be wiped into an arc shape to ensure that the base surface is moist and there is no open water.

2. Deal with the base surface of the leakage of the fish pond, which is closely related to the waterproof construction, and the base surface needs to be cleaned before construction to ensure that it is firm, smooth, and free of dirt and other debris.

3. When preparing polymer cement, pay attention to the balance of force when applying the coating, there is no omission, and ensure that the angle is vertical when painting on the front and back sides, so as to fully cover, but the thickness should not be too thick, otherwise it will crack after drying.

4. Finally, the protective layer of the fish pond should be maintained, and it is necessary to ensure that it is dry within 24 hours after construction, to ensure natural air drying, and not to step on, rain, expose to the sun or touch with sharp objects.

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.

Summary. Hello, the leakage of the fish tank can be repaired by wax liquid leakage, using glass glue, and playing wooden racks.

What to do if the fish tank is leaking? How to fix it?

Hello, the leakage of the fish tank can be repaired by wax liquid leakage, using glass glue, and playing wooden racks.

Wax liquid leak-proof. Wipe the leaking place of the fish tank dry, light the candle and drop a few drops of wax liquid, which can temporarily ensure that there is no leakage, which is the fastest way.

Use glass glue.

Apply the glass glue to the leakage, but scrape the original glass glue with a knife to prevent further leakage.

Wooden frame repair.

Put the fish tank on a wooden frame, polish the wooden frame smoothly, and apply glass glue.

Repaste. Contact the maintenance worker to disassemble the fish tank and re-glue it firmly.

I hope it helps you and I wish you a happy life.
