Things You'll Need
- Clean rags
- Acetone or methylated spirits
- Clear silicon glue
- Scotch tape
Instructions
Empty the water from the aquarium fish tank before commencing the repair. Place your fish in fresh water.
Clean the area of the repair thoroughly with a clean rag and acetone or methylated spirits. This is a crucial step, as the glass must be clean to create a strong seal.
Apply the clear silicon glue to the leak. Press on the glass to create a good seal. When the glue begins to set, cover the area of the repair with Scotch tape.
When you glue an aquarium fish tank, allow the glue to set for as long as the manufacture recommends.
When the glue has set, remove the tape. Clean the area of the repair with a clean, moist rag, then put the water and the fish back into the aquarium fish tank.
