Preston, it might not be a good idea to drill the holes in the braces like in your drawing they "might" crack on you later down the road. I think you would be better off to mount them another way, sorry not trying to burst your bubble just dont want to see you do all that work and it crack on youCry You want to get Momentive RTV 108 or 103 (one is clear and one is black) this is very good silicone, its available at Grainger just down the road from you.Smile

 Im actually going to be siliconing the braces tonight. I might end up starting a new thread for this tank though. Just so theres no confusion as to which tank im working on...

Thought I would post an overdue update. Ill try to keep these in order, but I have a few pics of the last finishing parts of the 210 and taking down the 125. Then the rest are just pics of the new tank and livestock over the last year or so!

The glass braces I had made and siliconed in myself. (was pretty nervous about that one)





Taking down the 125








The 210 with stand and canopy


Fast forward several months...


EA skimmer & EA sump
















More to come....

Thank you! You are first in line on the torch, haha. We might be waiting a while... I think it just barely split into two heads
