No salt. I can't even really get at the tank at all at the moment since there's a pile of glass in the way. I figure it will be at least a week after the silicone is applied before I even attempt to continue filling or start mixing or aquascaping.

I might focus on getting the 40g built up and the carpet tank inhabitants moved over to their temp home and start cleaning up the semi-cube and plumbing that in. (Once the sump is reassembled and slid back under the stand, that is.)

Dude!......maybe all this lighting fast progress lately is a bad thing:razz:.....kidding aside Tony, sorry for your run o bad luck:neutral:

Thanks dood! It's ok. I was pretty bummed about things but .. meh, what can you do. If there is a silver lining, if things were gonna fail like this it's better that they do so now and not once the tank is running. So ... maybe it's not so "bad luck"-ish if one looks at it that way.

if it makes you feel better i broke my overflow twice in one month even better in less than 3 weeks once was the back anel of the overflow lifting it thesecond the bottom panel. i think when it comes to builds you have to take the mentality of "thank god it wasnt the main display glass" cause things could be worse.
even with all your mishaps you still have one rocking tank that in the end will be the envy of the neighbourhood. well im envious anyways :)

Wow, don't come on for a few days or so and **** hits the fan!!!! Tony, sorry to hear of all the problems. Hey, since I am only 5 minutes away, if you need any help cleaning up, or holding glass, just give me a shout.

Thanks Rick, I appreciate that. There's lots left to do so I'll probably call out at some point!
