Not yet. Tonight I'm taking all the gravel out, get it nice and dry and then attempt to remove some silicone. But for now, I'm getting ready for the ice storm so doing some water changes, bought some new batteries for the air pumps and waiting for this thing to pass :)
 
So two days ago I removed everything from the tank. I slid the tank over so the side that leaks was hanging off. I then filled about 12" of water and let it sit. I then found out where the leak was coming from. The piece of glass that I used to cover the crack under the original patch, wasn't covered up. So I ordered two more panes of 12x12" glass, so going to patch it tonight if the glass is ready, or tomorrow. I hope it works this time.
 
I got done with the patch job, again. Two 12"x12" panes were added inside and outside which sealed up the crack that I originally missed. I will attempt a test fill on Sunday if there is no smell. I have a small space heater on it since 6pm tonight. I used GE I silicone.


On a side note, I'm bringing home some big ole loaches tomorrow, can't wait :)
 
Not yet, I had to use more silicone to fill in a gap, guess I used too much, it's still squishy. I'm not even sure I needed it, but last night I sliced it open so it can cure. The bottom is ready to go, but not the inside.
