Help! emergency!

The top of my 150 acrylic just popped loose from the front of the tank while I was cleaning. Grabed a clamp with on hand and held pressure with the other. Neighbor came with more clamps but I don't know what to do to fix it. HELP!!!

drain it, make sure the area is nice and dry, apply weld-on(the thicker one) by squeezing it in between the separation, clamp togeather till its cured. make sure to tape off any area that you dont want to accidentally get glue on!

[ReeferMike]

oh yea and post lots of pics of the damage, repair, and how it turns out!

Thanks for all the helpful suggestions. right now I'm combining some of my freshwater to open up a couple other tanks to use for salt.

yea, getting a temporary home for everything, draining and cleaning, re-aquascaping and placing everything will probably be harder than the actual fix. i feel for ya man, you got a long night ahead of you.

Is it possible to drain it to a certain point, get it dry then use weldon?

Jim, thanks for asking. We were wondering the same thing.

too bad your not closer to Ypsi. If you feel like making a road trip, I have several 55's you can use. They are sitting empty waiting to be sold.

Good thinking grabing the clamps right away!

Chris,
For once, my wife was glad that I left my tools laying around the livingroom!
