Restoring a broken Aquarium - I did it!🤩

[@TheCineScaper]

I remembered that a damaged aquarium has been gathering dust in the basement for about 5 years. I came up with a new project idea, so I thought I'd fix it because a tank like this isn't cheap. Originally, I only had to replace one side, but of course, things got complicated. I had to dismantle the whole thing and put it back together because the old adhesive was of poor quality. I was nervous because I've never done anything like this before, but the end result turned out quite well. Initially, I didn't want to make a separate video about it, but eventually, I decided to show you the process.

Now that's "starting an aquarium from scratch". Another of your wonderful videos, for me they are all small works of art. with absolutely unmatched quality. You will always be the best by far. A big hug from Germany 👍❤️

[@TheCineScaper]

You're always so kind, thank you very much for the support!🤩

[@MestrePL]

Hey, I just wanted to ask if everything is ok with you? I come here every day hoping to see a new movie🙂 I wish you all the best

[@williammcdowell6257]

Excellent, really well explained, I assume you didn't cut the replacement end panel to size yourself, I haven't had a lot of success cutting glass. You carrying the tank alone from the basement did rather unsettle me, carrying even a modest sized tank from awkward locations is quite dangerous, I once brought a tank down from a loft alone, I was lucky, but never again. Your new found skills with silicone sealant glue are impressive, though I did once repair a window with silicone rather than putty and it was one of my few genuine DIY successes. Please continue to make such great content, minor cuts on the hands with glass are part of the process, a bit like minor hand burns for chefs, but please take care carrying a glass box without help nobody wants abdominal or chest or neck incisions from broken glass, potentially fatal.

[@TheCineScaper]

Thanks mate!

[@tombarb2864]

Your video skills are tops. What a process to re-build this tank. I’ll look forward to your update video . Have a great week.

[@TheCineScaper]

Thanks mate!

[@ZizledgeSalve]

Dude, your videos deserve a lot more views and likes, the care you take in setting up each aquarium is impressive! Congratulations on your commitment!

[@jonisolis9645]

So glad you are cycling that nice glass. Too many items end up in the trash that can be fixed and reused. Thank you! I love your videos.

[@yourlocalit1701]

All glass is recycled

[@chelmsford6774]

Good job Bud. Watch the glass I have soft hands as a Plumber 😄I wear gloves, you are some tough 🤔. Loved the new video, always miss seeing you Cheers!

[@TheCineScaper]

Thanks buddy for the support! I hate wearing gloves, but I might use them next time.

[@Scaperoot79]

The tank looks amazing! It would have been a shame to throw it out. Great job restoring it. Can't wait to see how you scape and stock it:)

[@2704jos]

Great video . I like the calmness. Thank you.

[@tanksfornothin]

This is the way :)

[@jecky1772]

Hi, I've been waiting for your next adventurous video about fish tank. Anyway, good to see you still swimming in comments. 🐋

[@znate6730]

Glad to be one of your subscriber!!!

[@Necrosias]

A bamboo project is incoming! Very interesting

[@petesie80]

Once more a captivating episode to continually steer us on the path!

[@leonovakriss120]

Such an amazing process to watch, thank you for sharing your success and failure as an aquascaper! It's amazing to see how you brought this back to life

[@TheCineScaper]

Thank you 🤩

[@cerisekappes580]

Nicely restored 😊😊

[@dayankkumarasinghe]

You are such a creative and talented creator. You can easily make an empty broken aquarium video exciting and amazing. I've been following you from the beginning, and the videos are getting better and better. Keep up the good work, mate! Just so you know, you can use Masking tape instead of duct tape. It's easily removed without leaving any stains.

[@PaulZyCZ]

1:30 In my country glass workers are allowed to have some low level of alcohol in their blood (something like 0.3 ˚%), because of all the random cuts. It's really hard not getting cut when working with glass panes. I never dared to reseal whole aquarium, but I glued in some internal sumps and always ended up with cuts. It's probably best to wear some special gloves. De-greasing solutions are also aggressive. Be it paint thinner, tech. gasoline or the Isopropylalcohol. That said, the resealed tank looks great!

[@mcbabs7495]

Super vidéo, merci!

[@cindyrhodes]

Your designs are always just gorgeous! I also always love your musical selections. ❤🎉

[@TheCineScaper]

Thank you!🙌

[@cindyrhodes]

​@@TheCineScaperI hope you will find some comfortable gloves to protect your hands. I found some thin cotton gardening gloves with rubber fingertips, and they work for many projects 🎉

[@peterwarner8541]

Nice work. I appreciate the effort you put into making your videos, they are relaxing and enjoyable to watch. Thanks

[@markfranklin8831]

Very nice job. Looks great

[@AquaGardenAquariums]

Great job Mate!

[@TheCineScaper]

[@GrowingInterest]

[@jecky1772]

Nice video, always soothing. Keep up the goodwork 🎉

[@AgeOrmstad]

[@florentincioaba7989]

Bravo from Romania Dracula land ❤🎉

[@flame.6375]

I have a 40 litre tank..but I don’t know how much substrate I should get..please recommend

[@haifscaper]

like the view. nice job 👍🏻 😊

[@AnthonyHunt-vi7kc]

Can I ask, what do you do with all of these aquariums etc? If you want to do a new scape do you breakdown and old one and start fresh? If so how do you manage the livestock, do you waste the substrate or reuse etc?

[@ezakyky]

Brother uff i used to be tired waiting for your video every evening scrolling at the profile thinking if you had put some videos

[@thechefkan5582]

Bro I like your BGM❤✨💀

[@lordstig007]

Great video, question What is that warm orange light you have coming from under the table at the end? I’ve seen it in several of your videos and love the effect

[@TheCineScaper]

Thanks! Godox tl30

[@ithedespiser]

When you started applying silicone, a thought struck me and was waiting till the end of the video before commenting. I wanted to say that you should've pasted making tape before silicone to avoid spreading. But, then you just wet the glass and removed excess silicone....! To think how much time i wasted sticking and re sticking the making tape 😩😩

[@TheCineScaper]

This is the simpler and faster way, but using masking tape can result in a nicer outcome.

[@medealermk]

Hi Please can you please give me names of plants which I can plant above the aquarium with roots on aquarium water

[@TheAmebcia]

Oh man, next time use 20lb fishing line to cut through the silicone. Easy, glass and fingers safe :)

[@TheCineScaper]

Thanks for the tip!

[@macdog3217]

T_ Rex forest Dinosaurs To be continue next video PLEASE

[@catwesage]

cinescaper voice reveal when?

[@michelrood2966]

Should have used rubbing alcohol instead of thinner, masking tape instead of ductape and you could have masked the edges.But you did okay for your first build.

[@TheCineScaper]

Thanks for the tips, I'll refine my technique for the next aquarium.

[@citizen.baatorium3776]

Also, in a case like this degreasing is not the most important part. It is actually removing silicone. Silicone leeks basically liquid silicone which covers all surfaces near it. Use silicone remover instead of paint thinner! Very important! That's what Paintshops use.

[@PaulZyCZ]

@@citizen.baatorium3776 True, silicone needs to be gone, but also the glass edges need to be degreased. I had some trouble attaching 3D background because of the latter.

[@pearlfectfishtanks]

Ezt rendesen vègigizgultam😅

Please use gloves the next time you are doing this 🧤
