Re: Doc's Shark Tank
WOW I love sharks! You did a great job on building the stand. Man that is a monster tank but the shark will love it and I think biff will to.LOL I can't wait to see it up and the shark swimming in it. I would go ahead a resilicone it just to be on the safe side. You never know what the old silicone went throuhg or how long it will last.

Re: Doc's Shark Tank
Congrats on the new tank. It's going to look awesome when you get it finished. As for the hole very easy to fix.

Re: Doc's Shark Tank
Doc you can order complete new plasic rims if you really worried about it, or...the best thing to do IMO would be to cut both of the plastic ones out and silicone some glass ones in. Be just as strong with no shadows

Re: Doc's Shark Tank
I think I will just super glue down the current ones. The cross braces seem to be strong and stable. I will clean the tank first and when I am adding the silicone, I will glue down the plastic boarder. I cannot imagine it will make that much difference in the strength of the tank.
As for making my neighbor pay for the hole, it was my idea to ask him and I brought him some cupcakes for his trouble. I can throw a few somas his way if he is really hurting (wait, that was a joke for all you licensing people out there with the government.... a joke  )-Doc Current Aquarium(s) Description: 210 gal "Shark Reef" With Angelfish and 90 gal reef tank Experience in Saltwater & Reef Aquarium Hobby: long enough to know I have a lot to learn

Re: Doc's Shark Tank
I am currently cleaning out the sand and junk in the tank as well as scraping off the old coralline algae on the back of the tank. After it dries, I will re-silicone it. I am hoping to get it all done tonight so I can glue down the frame tomorrow and have it ready to go at the start of next week!!! I have taken a few pics and will post them in a bit.

Re: Doc's Shark Tank
So...here I am with the silicone, getting ready to put on another coat after cleaning the tank. Question: Do I do just the inside seams or should I turn the tank on the back side and do the bottom as well? I never thought of this question before and I could use some help. Also. What does that black frame thing on top do and should I glue it all down tight if it is lifting off from the glass on any area?
See folks, DIY stuff just isn't me. I can't ask how a glass fish tank it is feeling. It just stares at me and so... I am useless. Help??? -Doc Current Aquarium(s) Description: 210 gal "Shark Reef" With Angelfish and 90 gal reef tank Experience in Saltwater & Reef Aquarium Hobby: long enough to know I have a lot to learn

Re: Doc's Shark Tank
The brace keeps the glass panes from pulling apart from the seams....I would know!?!?
Sorry,I can't help on the silicone thing.
