All pieces checked for fit. It was a bit tight so some chips occurred.

4 tubes of silicone later, and a can of expanding foam.

All the joins patched. After this coat I went over the joins with another coat of yellow.

Its been 8 days since it was siliconed so as I type this the tank is having its first test fill

I'll leave it full of water for a few nights and test the pH. It will probably need to be rinsed a few times. When the pH is about the same a tap water then substrate-rocks-driftwood go back in.

Yeah Bowdy I really liked it too. But it was really very yellow, and I didnt want it looking like limestone. There is a few other rocks to go in, and they match the red colour of the background.
