Adding sillicone on top of cured sillicone really isnt the way to go. It doesnt stick to itself. All silliconing should be done at the same time and finished befor it starts drying.mb_barton;871908; said:i was gonna test fill this coming weekend, but i may just wait another week so i can add another blob of silicone to it

Im not really doing it to stick to itself.. its more so that it forms layers... the layers may not stick to eachother but itll kinda be the same as putting a fish in 2 plastic bags for transport... u poke a hole in on n ur bag wont lose water...
If you look on page 6, you will see the top of my tank. it has 6 holes in it so light can come through and feeding but still maintaining the strength of a cubic structure. but I was thinking that If i ever need to put something large in the tank or maybe when my fish are bigger and i need to pull a fish out for some reason, or the worst nightmare, catching a fish that doesnt want to be caught; it might be nice to have a larger hole at the top so i can have more freedom especially in chasing the lil bastards to a corner. so heres my question:

If this is the tank ^, what would have the strongest structure if i cut one of the bars away to make a larger hole.
option 1:

I think 1 is the best way to go, what do you all think?

did the first part of test filling today
its just over a quarter full, so like 8-90 gallons or so. and it hasnt showed any leakage signs in the last 3 days. I wanted to put more in today, but im not going to untill I have the styrofoam to go under the tank, and for some reason the shop was closed today so im not too happy...
but atleast im leak free up till now
