Tank repair - Page 2

Nice to meet you as well. The first question my husband asked was what is the brace made out of. I can talk to him about it tonight and see if he has any ideas. He is a bit prone to over-engineer things due to his line of work but I am certain he can come up with some suggestions for you. Since he tends to avoid the forums I will likely act as transtaltor, but likely he can come up with an idea or 2 for you. Next time you come down, let me know. We would love to have you over for dinner and/or lfs hopping like I do with Woodstock when she visits her folks in Melbourne.

We are hopeing to be down that way next year. Trying to put together a 7 day cruise since the better half and I will be celibrating 15 years here in two months. I would look forward to meeting you and your family.
A thought is I wonder if Gorilla Glue would work for bonding considering the fact that it is water activated. I have used it on many other projects just not sure if it would have an adverse effect on any future reef inhabitants.

Ok as it stands now, I am going to be replacing the tank. However I will also be seeing about repairing the crossmember and then setting up in the shop and running for a period of time to see if the repairs will hold. This will help to reassure me that the repairs will last and if it fails I have verry little water damage to worry about. thanks for all of your input and advice. Lynn

Smart choice...

Constantly worrying about a potential tank disaster is not worth it.

Well I was finnaly able to get ahold of AGA and order the replacement top. With shipping was under $20.00. The only problem that I had was it took 4 calls to them to get a return call to order the part. The tank should be fixed within a week. yea.....
