Dez' Tank Journal

[Dez]

Today I painted the plywood on my stand so that at least it'll be nicer to look at until there's a skirt around the stand and fish to look at. Here's the final product (sorry for poor quality pics, all pictures in this thread are taken with a cell phone camera):



Now that the tank is almost ready to go in, I decided to silicone the overflow box onto the tank. As usual, I cleaned the glass with newspaper and vinegar, masked off the area for a "clean" look and went at it. Here are the pictures:



I still have to razor blade off the excess silicone from when I built the box itself. But here is the picture freshly siliconed:



I was pleased with the bubble free joints:



And this is what the tank looks like with all the masking tape off. I'll let it cure for a day before even moving the tank.



Thanks for looking everyone. Sorry that this build is so slow and uneventful.
