Presently the market of pet goods is very different. Therefore the beginning breeders of fishes, as a rule, get a ready aquarium. And here the carried-away aquarians prefer to stick together them with an experience independently. Quite so it is possible to achieve the desirable size and volume.
Instruction
1. To stick together aquarium independently, it is necessary to prepare materials first of all. It is better to order glasses for it as in a workshop they are cut by the car, and the accuracy of cutting will be higher. Glasses should be chosen as 8-10 mm thick as thinner can be insufficiently strong and not sustain water pressure. At the order specify that glasses for an aquarium, so high probability are necessary for you that masters will not blunder.
2. As soon as you received glasses, process their edges. For this purpose under a water jet grinding bar accurately you drive along an edge. At the same time edges do not need to be processed as sealant which you will stick together a product grabs smooth surfaces better. future you were not wounded at installation and washing of an aquarium.
3. As soon as you processed edges, wash up glasses from dust and wipe with the rag moistened in acetone to degrease the stuck together surfaces. At the edges of glasses with a space of 3-4 mm it is necessary to paste a painting adhesive tape or an insulating tape that the seam from sealant was equal and accurate.
4. Further it is necessary to take a side and back surface of future aquarium. It is necessary to arrange them at right angle. It is better if you fix a design by means of an adhesive tape. Then carefully apply sealant in a corner which is formed between the surfaces of glasses. Surplus of sealant can be removed, using the rubber pallet.
5. The same way it is necessary to collect other glasses. To a back surface the second side glass, then external is pasted, and after all design it is put on a bottom. The main thing, you do not hurry. On gluing together at you several days can leave. You watch closely that sealant laid down exactly and carefully dried.
6. As soon as the aquarium is ready, it is necessary to paste stiffening ribs. For small aquariums they are glued randomly, and for products of volume over 50 l - along long walls. It promotes reduction of pressure of water by glasses.
