melbournebetta Posted May 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2011 Wayne, I had checked that it was food safe - so that's one more on the list - this was so easy! [maybe i shouldn't get too excited, haven't seen that it's water tight as yet] -Ness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishbites Posted May 2, 2011 Report Share Posted May 2, 2011 you'll find out soon enough That lack of a puddle of water under the tank is always a relief!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melbournebetta Posted May 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2011 Can't say as I've had as much with my other fish room efforts - with the excitement of 6 kittens arriving for some itty bitteh kitteh committee help (babysitting overnight) I left an airhose siphoning out my salamander spawn I GOT HOME TO A CENTERMETER OF WATER LEFT IN THE TANK. They all look so ANGRY at me and the original 1950s carpet smells .......bad.... Anyhoo - yes, puddles under tanks, hopefully not with that one. Sheesh.. -Ness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

melbournebetta Posted May 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2011 I knoes! Anyhoo - I'm full time at work this week, and have a busy social calender (oh i'm so important) so I haven't had a moment to look at the tank, I'm sure it's still sitting there curing... will make some time to test it before the weekend. Shall keep y'all posted with leak updates.... fingers crossed! -tankfulNess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

melbournebetta Posted May 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2011 I felt myself cringe when you said "next silicone job" I have a 4ft eBay tank ($10 + stand!!!) in the shed that looks decidedly like it it's going to need me to strap on some rubber gloves and do a FULL INSPECTION (be very afraid Busman) Heheh -glovedNess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
girlz0r Posted May 5, 2011 Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 oh good luck with that. We filled my tank halfway and then relized it leaked. that was not joyus at all. and $10 is really good!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melbournebetta Posted May 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 Arrrhhhhh Tonight's the night (I think) going to put this one and the 3.5-4 foot tank to the water-tight test... if the 3.5 foot beast leaks I will probably cry... and then get all DIY on it... no more phodos.... nearly got silicone in my lense.... hmmm maybe timelapse? -watertightNess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
