I ripped off the tag...leak?

[Kaxter]

There is a small tag about 1cm high and 4cm long on the bottom of my AGA 7 gallon bow. I tore it off thinking it was a sticker, but it was actually held in place by the black slicone on the edge of the black trim. When I tore it off, some of the silicone came with it, not much, but a small amount. Will this cause my tank to leak at all? The tag was on the outside bottom and it reads: "Assembled by Laurie E 2Q02"

 

Thanks in advance...*hides in a corner out of shame*

Only time will tell. Probably not though in fact I would give it a less then 5% chance from what you described.

Ummm... I don't believe you have anything to worry about...

it should be fine but id just get a litle tude of aquarium silicone and just got back over what came off to be same,Chris

[Inpha]

No... it really shouldn't be anything at all... the silicone is holding the frame to the glass (and the tag)... its not holding the glass together...

aaaawwwwww!!! YERRR SCREWED d00d ! OHHH NOOOO !!!

Do not remove under penalty by law ! Now you cant get Laurie fired when it leaks !

 

silly silly reefer X)

 

PS: I ACTUALY have one of those tanks too....... She does nice work.

Keep that tag. It is required for warranty repair/replacement. If you don't have it and your tank breaks for some reason, your SOL!

Too Late! Now the Tank Tag Police (a little known division of the Mattress Tag Police) will be visiting you. : at least they're not as militant as the Tang Police. X)

 

always first fill the tank w/water only for a couple of days to test for leaks. c'mon now, that's aquarium basics 101. even a lazy sob like me still does that when setting up a new tank or re-setting an old tank.

tinyreef makes light of a common error that is hilarious

Really?... ######. X)

Guess I have to back and re read 101 again....

 

'tis true though, But if everyone had that patience and mindset, then there would be no need fer wet/dry vacs. :woot:

LONGGGGG Story. Perhaps some other time.

Most of my tanks are made my Gonzaleses, Ramirezes, or...i dunno maybe removing the tank and the tank leaking is their way of getting revenge
