After silicone to each part i wait four to five days. Base eurobracing will silicone this thursday along with final coat of silicon inside the tank. Most probably by 24th of june i will water test.

Are there ANY concerns of any kind that the overflows may not stay attached since it is siliconed to a painted surface? This just occurred to me now.

Your stand could have some type of support under each box to help assure it doesn't pull away over time, perhaps.

Thanks melev,

I changed filter floss next morning when water looks clear. Whole water pass through filter floss in between baffles. Hope they stuck there.

This tank is going to look so nice! Thank you for all your updates. You may want to name each blog entry specifically, because it will make it easier to find a previous topic when you need to or when someone else is looking for something. Just a suggestion.

Could have fungicide in it? plus how Strong is it?

Lol.... . Yes there is only one think is mentioned on the label, which is 100% silicon

The guy how made the tank is been using this silicon from six years. He made hundreds of Salt and freshwater water aquarium. I don't know those tanks got (anti-mildew agent mixed in which can leech out into the water) but in hundreds of them one is mine which is running since 24 August 2007 and until now no anti mildew agent leech out from the silicon.

Hope my new 300 gallon will also safe from this kind of AGENT.

Stay Tuned , more update is on the way………….

Yes make sure there are no mildew agents or fungicide in it!

Syed, you need to make sure it's aquarium safe silicon.
