Thank you for having integrity and owning up to your mistakes.
We've have all done things like that and made mistakes that had :( results. Your candor is super refreshing. Also love the editing style. Looking forward to watching the rest and future videos. You have a great knack!
My first Red Sea tank repair was two years ago . I broke the bottom glass of my 650xxl . And it’s doing great and no sign of Leak at all . Since then I replaced bottom and front panel glass of a 750xxl . It’s not easy but when you get paid well for repairs you get good at it . I Just have a lot of patience .
With The price of these aquariums I could see fixing them turning out to be a nice little gig for you.
bill barry i won’t say it’s easy but it got easier. Yup it’s good side income . Pay me well and I will repair anything. :)
Great job dude. I will use some of this info soon for my seahorse tank
Can't wait for second post. Building a seahorse tank for my wife's birthday
Setting my seahorse tank up right now. This is great info
If you were close to me I can replaced that one side of glass . I have replaced Red Sea broken glass 4 times already.
I was thinking about making a cheap 10 gallon tank and sump seahorse tank. I really like the natural look of macroalgae tanks
Cut a piece of glass or acrylic a couple inches larger than the chip, smooth the edges that will be facing out. Leave the edges that will touch the tank as is. FILL the chipped gap area with clear silicone, press the cleaned patch onto it, clamp and clean off the excess. Let dry for 2x the recommended time. No leak. Make sure the patch is larger than the chip to ensure the edges go beyond any microfractures that you may have. It may be more obvious than just the superglue, but it's better than risking the animals' lives.
Hi. Is there an blog version for all 3 seahorse videos, as I’m interested in eventually keeping seahorses and of loved to hear what Felicia says about keeping seahorses
I just found this :D So glad the tank is going so well now!
It’s not if it’s going to leak! It’s when it is going to leak? Good luck!!!!!👍🏼 I would replace the tank if it was me.
If he doesn't replace the tank he's always going to have that anxiety hanging over his head that the tank can burst at any moment.
I doing two more Red Sea glass replacement this month.
👍
Please when you leak test that do it outside.
There's two types of people that never make mistakes.
1)Liars.
2)People that Dont do anything.
So, having spent most of my adult life working on freight transfer docks and in warehouses, your little "mistake" with the tank is nowhere near as bad as some of the dumbest, lowered-expectation shenanigans going on in these places that either I've seen, heard about, or have done myself. Trust me, there are supposed "professionals" in this industry making worse mistakes than you ever thought about.
I swear..... ive seen this dude on tv somewhere but i just cant put my finger on it......
i found it. Tom Arnold. I remember him from trailer park boys. The way he speaks and looks is sooooo similar. i really hope someone tells him. i legitimately thought it was him.
@@keithahargis thank you haha
