During my last screen cleaning I gave it a bit too much elbow grease and poked a 4 inch horizontal tear in the screen. It still functions perfectly but obviously has weakened the screen considerably. Does anyone have a method of fixing the screen without having to restart. Getting good growth now and don't want to start from scratch. I was thinking about glueing a strip of new screen on the ripped part both sides, all the way across. Anyone done this ?
super glue is what I have used in the past.
150G. Reef/Mix
125G. 3 Regular Oscars/1 Jack Dempsey
75G. 20+ Africans
40G. Fish/Reef. Algae Scrubbers on ALL my SW
10G. SW Fish/Reef.
10G. SW Hospital/new fish quarantine/pod breeder tank
6 stage RO/DI system 200 GPD.
Thanks for the confirmation Kerry.
I've tied it with braided fishing line
Also a new screen is easy to start from an old one by just tying sections of the old one onto the new one for a few weeks until the new one establishes a base of growth.
