![]() I dropped about half a tube of silicone on the bottom seal to try and make sure I got the leak.
I have just bought a sheet of 5/8 ply and some 15 mm weather stripping the stripping will go between the tank and the ply and the tank will go onto the ply. I think this will be adequate. What do you guys and gals think? Jon |

![]() I was going to cut small wood wedges to use as a shim and put them between the stand and the ply until but once I saw how well the weather stipping leveled the tank I did not think it was neccessary. So as you can see from the attatched pic the weather stripping was layed down on the outside perimiter of the tank. This made sense as that was where the tank rests on the stand.
Unfortunatly it is fairly ugly and once I have filled the tank and it has compressed I will get some sort of trim as suggested to cover it. I think glueing it to the plywood should work fine. Thanks everyone for your suggestions even though ultimatly I did my own thing. I guess I will see if I should have listened to you if my tank falls apart. If you have any questions or want further detail do not hesitate to ask. Jon |
