Looks good so far. BTW, love the bike

Oh thank you, which bike the old Honda or the Triumph

are the end of each side 2 separate pieces sealed together? If so I would have some concerns on the integrity of those two pieces holding under the pressure of water.

Yes there are two pieces that I had to cut to make fit. Since this tank is only going to be used for testing, it is only a temporary situation. No way would I have that for a long term tank. I just want to play with the Vortech on a long shallow tank and see what kind of waves I can come up with. Then (which will be the interesting part) I will add an angled piece of glass to create a shallow end and see what the waves look like.

The only money I have in this is the silicone so its cheap practice.

This is all information that I will use to put together a long rimless drilled tank.

Tonight I did a leak test ... and found a leak. I drained the tank to let it dry and wont have time to try again till Thursday. If it holds then I will get video up

Looking forward to seeing what you come up with.

So I think I am not using the correct silicone after a second leak. I used (brand name escapes me) Clear window and door. I am going to look into this and get back to work. I really want to get this test system up and going.

Why aren't you buying Aquarium-Safe silicone? DIY is fine, and you do save money, but silicone is key. Spend the dollars to get something that is designed for this job.

Thats just it, I thought I was using the correct type as instructed by somewhere else online :/ ...
What kind is the best one to use???

Your LFS sells it, and you can probably find it in the glues & tape section of Home Depot, Lowes & Walmart. Don't look near the caulk.
