The new 'cube' cycling at the moment, it has a cf500 canister and a 1000lt/hr internal. I have put in the bracing for the lid and painted 2 sides black. The sand is gin gin quartz riversand and there's a few shells in there too

looks good mate, how deep is your substrate? ive got an 18" cube with multis and substrate is 4" deep but in a week they had allready dug down to the glass, its incredible how fast a fish that size can dig!

[Riggers]

I've got 3" of sand in there the fish are in now and I've added a couple more larger shells for them I have 5 multis in there and loving it

[hitman]

hwy riggerton what silicone did you use is it a special brand just for aqueriums or is just a random brand

[werdna]

Selleys Glass silicone for aquarium use. In a blue tube.
You can buy it from Bunnings.

(You can see it in one of his pics on the first post)

[Riggers]

Thats the one mate, it's around $8 at bunnings and I use it for small tanks, bracing, patches, repairs. When I'm doing large tanks or working with 10mm glass I use Bostik V2 construction strength silicon
