HookahCaterpillar Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 Theres defenitely lots of ways to crack an acrylic base, the good thing about it being acrylic is replacement bases come cheap usually around 10 bux 15 at the most. Id see about getting a new one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cornellius Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 get some ceramic powder and mixter, coat your base with that mixture cook it for 30 minutes in oven wait it cool down now you have a ceramic base and leaking shall stop. =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tjt486 Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 They say acrylic aquariums are supposed to be 20x stronger (orso) than glass. Ive had a 5 gallon acryllic snap down the side and my glass tanks are all still solid.I dont know what that really has to do with anything, but Ill be willing to bet mya would help you out somehow.

Sonthert Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 Not a structural engineer, but, there are different types of strength...concrete and steel are veery strong, but in different ways...concrete will sheer, but won't bend, while steel bends but won't sheer. Those plastic bags from the grocery store are supposed to hold 75 lbs., but anybody who knows double bags their gallon of milk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
