too much silicone and it won't dry, meaning no strength at all. There is technique involved and just piling on a ton of silicone isn't it.

I bet you can get that tank built for less you can get the glass for. Have you gotten a quote through Colby? He orders tanks from Concept here in Calgary and they have a really good rep if you didn't know already.

+1 to the above.

I too would also suggest talking to Colby about getting a tank built the way you want it. There are soon many little sublte things to building a tank. Best left to the experts IMO. Colby will get you a fare price I've bought a few tanks from him now and will certainly return when/if I want another one
