brucem Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 I have 2 bridges on my 6x20x20, and one has separated from the side of the tank. I've emptied the tank and moved the fish, but I'm wondering if it is worth trying to fix the bridge or should I replace the tank? Looking along the length of the tank the wall is still slightly bowed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sorroz Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Bridges are an easy fix ...just clean off all the old silastic , refit the bridge with aquarium safe glazing silastic and tape from front to back with duct tape in a few spots to pull it back into shape and leave on for a couple of days till it sets .
