    I tried Google Chrome - tells me I need to turn my Adobe Flash on. This what really annoys me - Firefox blocks it but Chrome gives you the option to keep it off or turn it on.

    @mjmza: thank you so much, my hand-written calculations were correct after all. LOL And I thought I couldn't do maths for sh!t :D

    Ok this is what I've done. Build it back to the old way it was build before i got it. I even made sure there were no bubbles or gaps in the seams. It should be fine as I had this tank for more than 2 or 3 years now - never had problems.

    Messy, I know. Next photos - I cleaned up after that...

    Cleaned seams and so on... Even had to put more on one side and scrape with a special tile scraper that has different size edges. Very useful too. That's the blue tool next to my orange knife.
