^Yep, you can just cut out the holes with a large drill bit, small cookie cutter, apple corer or anything that would give you uniform cuts.

Cool thanks I was hoping I could do that.

DAY 5: I ended up buying GE silicone 1 instead of aquarium sealant from the LFS and boy am I glad I did that. With all the silicone it took to cover the sides and back it would have cost a fortune with LFS sealant. I did however discover my first mistake. When using the great-stuff I brought it all the way out to the front of the glass on the sides, not realizing that I would not be able to cover it with coco fiber so you can see the great stuff from the front. I am going to get some fake vines and ivy to silicone to the front where you can see it to hopefully cover it up. Now on to the pics.

Is that just cocofiber or is it a mix on your walls?
