Did you apply the flex seal directly to the back of the tank? Looking at that insulation board got me to wondering if you could apply flex seal to the insulation board and then somehow attach the insulation board to the tank so the flex seal background would not be permanent.

I actually tried that as well. But the flex seal keeps making holes on the insulation board. So far spraying on the back of thank then gluing the boards on the back is the best way. As you see in picture there white spots everywhere. No mater how much I spray. I am almost done lots of cleaning up to do.

Thanks for the aquaseal info. Tank looks good. Nice selection of fish. Used to have a breeding colony of Haplochromis moorii (now Cyrtocara moorii ). Nice to see some Tropheus in there also.

Thx AussieMan. Tropheus is one of my all time favorite. I am sure I am going add some more later on ?

So almost 2 days of working on my 500 gallon looks like I’m done. But. Looks like I need a bigger carpet ?

Are you going to build a stand for that monster tank? Love the tropheus.

I have the stand but it worries me with the California earthquakes. I actually like the way turned out
