Hey G spaghetti i will be there in 10 minutes from KY LOL, good luck with that silicone aye..

Go to home depot go into the lighting section by the shop lights its called lighting diffuser aka egg crate should be two types one is a whole piece of plastic without the holes a solid sheet you do not want that you want the other LOL..

Good luck

This is what it looks like but will come in a big sheet for about 10 bucks measure the size you want when you get home with it and use a pair of hand branch trimmers to cut the slots after cutting you will have sharpe edges take the clippers close them and run it up and doen the jagged edges to smooth out..

Thanks Pitt, come on up got the sauce a cookin lol, yeah I got one side and the bottom loose...the other side is proving to be a bit more difficult. Think this is going to take me quite a bit longer then planned.

Yep, that is exactly what I want, lighting diffuser huh!! I don't have a pair of the branch trimmers, but my scissors that came with my knife kit worked fine on the last one I bought (the tiny piece on my sump), I just used a file on the rough edges for that one.

lighting diffuser is much more colloquial than louver...probably easier to understand for those Wisconsinites :grinyes:

WOO-WOOO!! Piece #2 is out!! Course not without indecent...in the process of trying to get it out, only being able to get to one side of the glass, I cut the silicone as best I could on the one side, then pushed and pulled the glass trying to get it to loosen more when CRACK...you guessed it I'm sure, I busted the glass (guess the mighty power of G can be a little to much at times LMAO!), but hey, after it broke...came out rather easily!!!

When it cracked I put a towel inside incase it busted any more and shards fell in, luckily that did not happen.

 

[Lady G]

HA! Piece #3 is OUTTA there! Just one more to go and then the clean up...oh yeah, oh yeah, I'm awesome! ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sooooo, I got the last piece out!! Whole lotta clean up to do on this tank, but I officially have a tank again!

Oh, and found my egg crate, egg louver, lighting diffuser today!!! So I got the tank, got the crate, got the sand, have some shells...just need to pick up some rocks and I'm on my way!!!!!

Of course I will need to add some water in the tank and let it sit for a couple days after I clean it up to make sure there are no leaks
