this is a work in progress.

The stand looks solid. Kind of wished you went with another stain. What a big difference in size from the other tank.

Now as for the silicone hack job, wtf were you drinking? LOL

Dude, it looks like your tank is going to take up most of the space in your place. lol.

I agree with Pedro on the stain. It looks very shiny. But none the less the stand looks solid as hell.

what type of silicone are you using. you do realize, that you should only be using silicone(s) that do not have the mold growth inhibitor ingredients in it, and looking at those pics, it looks like you are using the wrong kind.

I check everything else but the color, to think i even remember reading white on it but was more focus on check to see if it was safe to use.
Thanks, But all is good I grabbed WHITE instead of clear. I'm not worried, I'll just clean it up with a razor in a few and get everything ready for the morning. Making the extra water as I type.

the sump will hold over 30 gals.
