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!

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
