Test fill

[Darylb]

I have just finished putting euro bracing in my 40 gal tank I'm now wondering how long I should test fill it for? I built the tank myself so I want to be 100% sure it will hold

I'd leave it filled at least 2 weeks that should give it enough time

Sweet I got mixed reviews I needa full it up again now haha

Yea everyone does a different amount of time. If I was worried I didn't do it right I would fill it for 4 weeks. Definitely go with what you're comfortable with. Good luck!

Yea I had the tank set up originally and it was a 6ft but it cracked so I made 2 aquariums out of the one I'm just a little cautious now

In that case you might be more comfortable letting it sit for a longer amount of time.

The 6ft one only cracked because I didn't put styrofoam under it and it was on a soft wood bench so it just gave way :/

Well the euro bracing cracked I'm looking to buy some more glass I can only get 16 sheets tho this stuff will be 10mm thick tho
