d'oh! Well, have a great trip :-) I'm hoping the tank will be done by the 31st. After that I'm off to Mexico for a week and then back to work and if the tank isn't done by then, then it will be a new entrant into the slowest build contest..

Ya, I guess Santa was busy building a tank that night but couldn't be bothered to stuff it under the tree :-)

I tried to remove some of the tape before the silicone fully dried but that was a mistake. Even after scoring the silicone along the tape edge I found that it sometimes tended to lift a bit. I decided to leave the tape until the next day and it the removal worked out a lot better.

Looks like you could still use some free plumbing... I figured this would be done and plumbed by now!

Great work with the assembly Kien. I'm really itching to try that whole process again...with a crappier shirt next time lol. Seeing it so wide...sitting there on the floor...sure looks like an appealing size.

Which is why I'm not going to stare at it anymore =)
