got the tank drained last night and tried to reseal it this morning.... the tank was bought used and they had lizards in the tank so im guessing they scratched at the sides or something and maybe the seal came loose. my silicone says 48 hrs b4 adding water so looks like things wont be going anywhere any time soon. I have to go out of town for a few days starting wed.

Seal is not fixed. :-( I guess the whole right side bottom seal is leaking slowly. Wish I hadn't had to go out of town now I'mset back another 2 days for drying silicone :-(

Okay silicone around the base inside and out. Didn't take the bottom piece off so I hope it works.

Got my light opened up and it looks very nice I'll get some pics of it up when I get home and get it setup with the app.

Any suggestions on rock layout for a bowfront?

Oh ya also I was able to get a new impeller for my skimmer so that's also in the mix now!! Things are coming into place. Slowly....
