now onto the stand my friend was building a 220G planted discus tank at the same time and he came up with the idea to use hardwood flooring for the stand so here are a few stand in progress shots

great setup man , but i dont think you can use that silicone not the white stuff. that is not aqaurium safe silicone.. sorry man ....unless they start maing it now , but i highly doubt it.

for the record what type of silicone is that

e46er 02-10-2009 02:35 AM

its rona brand no midew protection says right on it that its aquarium safe

wow really good to hear never seen any white silicone for tanks before ...

e46er 02-10-2009 02:42 AM

yea thanks for the concern tho
my friend used the same stuff in his 220G planted discus and its been a year and they all have survived so i figured it was ok

far as i know and research went its the midew protection that is harmful to fish any silicone that has no protection is OK.. i actually read the label on a clear one and it was opened in the store so i grabbed the one behind it paid got home popped it open and sure enough it was WHITE. wasnt impressed but its in the stand so i got over it lol.
its $4 a tube instead of $20 at the LFS

Looks great so far man! I like what you did with the aluminum trim on the stand and doors.

thanks we went and bought the hardwood got home and went damn the tongue and groove will be hard to hide haha live and learn i still need some more trim on the canopy but ive just been lazy. and that trim is hard to cut at a 45* angle i used a hand mitre but its still not perfectly accurate but im just a gas fitter not a carpenter
