Well Sunday, great project day. I had some glass lying around and I was inspired by the tank sold at the auction... I wanted a home for my Neo. Multi's and I really like the cube look tanks for them

So after cutting all my glass to size, marking it, cleaning it and getting it laid out this is where I was at



Next I ran all my beads of silicon in order because I have minimal time to work on the silicon and started forming the tank



The final tank put together then strapped into place to hold it all tight




I've still gotta put some bracing in it but it's pretty well done
Cool ey
Cheers

Sweet mate looks good.. I got a couple tanks to build now lol took a bit of persuading but I convinced the missus to let me set up a 3 tier 4x2x2 Wich will open up underneath my 6 footer for a 3 foot sump and 3 foot grow out tank lol so yeah it is a good Sunday I managed to go from trying to talk her into 1 more tank to convincing her to get 5 more tanks going lol I'll wait till it's all done before I tell her my plans for a couple ibc's outside the bedroom window lol I'll throw some pictures up for everyone as I go
