well, apart from Taffy not properly reading who said 'heat', and who, if anyone split a tank before it even happened, i dont think there was anything but robust discussion.
Thnaks Bundy, for the vote of confidence,(and i typet that after a fair few, i must have more restraint than i thought!
there is a fairly simple principle in play with the core matter though, that is take it easy, when you are playing with a $800.00 omero tank, or anything else for that matter, take it easy, go slow, and work on the way you do things, to get it right. thers no point backing a bolt off half a turn once you have stripped it!
take time, the easiest fix isnt allways the best!
Hannu, its not too late to do the freezer thing, but be aware it could also split it. im sure you have put a drinking water bottle in the freezer to get it chilly and left it too long, its easy to see the extent that ice expands from water, if the dent is small take it easy, if it is big, then it might take a couple of goes, increasing the water volume before its out properly. shame you probably have witness marks where it was dinged out now, same happens with expansion chambers often.
