Freak'n Scarry discovery
Last night I found my euro brace had cracked. It happened right where the overflow wall touches the bracing. After further investigation it appears the overflow wall is pushing up on the euro bracing.
Now the acrylic that the wall is made of is 5/8ths is there a dremmel bit that will cut that? Any suggestions? J

Ai yi yi. Good luck.
Yeah, I'm thinking just a standard dremel cut off disk and a steady hand. Not sure if there's a good one specifically for acrylic.

Pictures ? How are you planning to repair it? I've never had any luck with acrylic and dremels, trying a variety of different tools. If it starts melting, you get stuck in that one spot

I'm not even sure a demmel will get in there. I may just use a hacksaw

Is it just the teeth that need to be trimmed on the front and/or back?
 If it's just a few teeth you may get through it with out melting too much, if you can get in there. Using a hacksaw blade might work the best, I have a bunch of new blades including some very fine toothed ones. LMK if you want me to bring them over.

Hey Cprowler thank for finding the pic. You can see where the brace goes over the teeth. It's gonna be though to get in there.
After thinking this through all day. I think it's always been like that. Last week I was hanging in the tank quite a bit and might have put a lot of pressure on the back brace. This could have cause it to crack. I'll follow up in the morning with my progress J

Yes both front and back. The back is cracked but the front is flexed quite a bit.
