In a few will make a trip to homedepot to see if they sell GE Silicone I

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??

I wish I was a fish I wish.
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!

lol dont tell me you were the one outbidding me.. I was going to spend tops $60 on the setup but some seller there kept outbidding me.. So my friend pushed me and said ehh wants another 20 bucks.. and then that $20 jumped to $40
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.
