so as some know my 180 busted seal, I am getting a guy to fix it, in mean time i picked up a 150 perfecto, made 94, ok it holds water seen pic and he drained it while i was there, I noticed in places the silicone was tore, not bad and not in were the glass pieces meet but were it flattens out onto the glass sides. So not actually were it needs to hold the 4 panes together, hard to explain without picture, not home or id post one. I just got a bit paranoid, but i saw it holds water, I think i may be paranoid were my 180 just busted:screwy:

Better to be safe. You can always 70% fill it for now. Or buy aluminum or steal corner guards and silicone them to each corner providing extra support.

I wouldn't take any chances either, 150 gallons is a lot of water to have to clean up.
 
after cleaning it, that is tank was freaking atrocious, I notice it was 1 little maybe 3 cm strip, almost like you was cleaning tank and nicked it with your nail, it is 80% filled and seem to be doing fine, the tank was filled for picture sake was lowered after. lol actually gf was in charge of filling and got to high DSCN0018.JPG

always be on the cautious side, girlfriends gonna be annoyed after a second tank busts.
 
Its at 70% filled, hope that is gonna be ok till other gets sealed. the stand looks crappy
