Just finished adding the new frame..
Used GE Silicone I for the application, which is extremely cheap.
hmmm the smell of silicone :crazy:
Now we wait until the weekend to once again clean the tank and do a water test..
Question: it doesnt matter if you OD or add "some" silicone to the frame.. As long as its enough to hold it in place then its all good right??

Yep... excess can always be scraped away. It's better to have more than less here as some people have had water migrate under the frame and over the glass.

How did I miss this post? Yes you did get a good deal on that tank, I know cause I was watching it! =) Didn't feel like going all the way up there for it though, instead I am going to Philly to get a 72g bowfront (GREAT deal on Ebay!). 
Congratz on the tank! Love your wood! Will you be keeping the links for your 10g & 29g in your signature? I sure hope so, they are great links!

Yup will be keeping the links just as eye candy.. Will be sad to see those tanks go but will have this monster to work with..
Thanks bob
Today I started cleaning the space where the tank will go. Got the stand already in place just have to add a few shims to level it out.
Also washed some SMS i had on the side for additional substrate.. thing is such a pain to rinse.. Still have cloudy water in the bucket no matter how many times i poured/drained..
Hopefully will have water in the tank by tomorrow/monday.. With the wood coming in on wednesday + time to let it water log, by next weekend i should have it up and planted.
