well I completly runed that calking job lol. I will probable have to re do this tank again. freaking calking everywhere except where I actually wanted it lol is however its between the glass

To be clear, I mean you should run tape along every seam about 1/8" from the seams on the inside. I would tape on the outside and cover the seams to stop it from leaking through. Then you use your 100% silicone along the seams, and run your finger along each seam pushing it into the gaps. Then pull the tape that runs along the seams before it dries and you should have clean seams.

Ok today my son and I are painting the tank and overflow. then playing with the rocks..

Question about rocks. Ive had live rock that sat in cold water :( in a garage for about 3months now. I pulled them out today. gave them a proxided bath. just to be safe i guess. and rinsed with hot water. now there dryingout. do u think using the rocks will be enough to kick start my cycle? or the rocks are good as dead and I should treat them as such.

Your rocks are dead basically. You'll have a good old fashioned cycle unless you use one of the commercial starters on the market... I'm a fan of old fashioned patience though.

sweet looking tank, I say go for it on the phosban 150. you be an sps keeping god if it worked well lol.

 

Thanks dallas.

The phos ban reactor is soooo much taller than the tank lol

Maybe I can make a mini reactor? who knows.

By tomorrow I should have updated photos of the panted tank and over flow. and a test shot with lights.

I may have to use this a sps tank after all. I can get 3"frags of 20+ types of sps for only $10each.
