How to Remove a UTH!

wow thats geat thanks so much

Thanks that helps a lot. :gj:

Happy to help:)

I have also pulled them off VERY carefully a couple times before. I was even able to stick them right onto another tank with the original adhesive. After moving them a couple times the adhesive stops working though. None have ever been damaged. I am sure not everyone has luck or wishes to take the risk with that method though so I think its great that you made this guide :gj:

same.

It does say directly on many UTH's not to remove them or bend them what-so-ever, and as I mentioned - I like having fully operational and reliable equipment, so I would prefer not to simply peel them off and break them. But to each their own, and if it has worked for you, awesome. I don't know how I would have gotten the glue off my tank had I not done the removal this way, but some may not care about some glue on the bottom of their tank.

This whole process took approx 10 minutes - and to me it was worth the effort, for a clean tank and operational equipment:)

good informative post ... but why would glue a uth onto ur tank ... i just use packing tape ... so i can take it off n give the tank a good all around scrub

WOW very good way to remove them. I think the best way to use and preserve them easily is to leave that white plastic paper stuff on it forever, this way you can move it easily...

I may have to do this, How would I attach the uth to a tub after covering with foil tape?

Hi,

I would use more foil tape - that should hold it really well.
