Varga's 94 Gallon Cube

[flying dutchman]

I'm going to built a 31x31x22 cube so I've some questions.
How many tubes of silicone did you use? After how long should I remove the masking tape?

Thanks

you should remove the masking tape rather soon as that just makes it look better. before the silicone dries prob after about 5 mintues max

Those are great dimensions for a tank! R u asking about the masking tape used for producing perfect silicone lines? That one has to be removed immediately after you apply the silicone. Dont even wait 5 minutes.

Thanks, How many inches from the edge should I attach the tape? And how many Tubes of silicone did you use? I try to figure out how many tube I should get. Does 30 oz sound right

Thanks, and sorry for hitchhiking your thread.

 

[Varga]

No problem.

I used one tube of GE I from the hardware store.

I put the tape about 1/2" from the corner. Assuming your tank is braces, you really don't need that much silicone.

Random photo time. Things are growing super fast

How's your bubble coral doing next to those zoas? any aggression?
How's your sailfin doing? I would love one, but I don't like the idea of it getting 1' 3".
Do you have a FTS? Pics look great as always BTW.

Looks great Varga

Thanks Frankie.

No aggression at in this tank except for the Anemone.

Sailfin is EVIL. Never again. Eats the feeding tentacles of LPS corals.

Which ISO did you settle on Varga? The shots looks cool. Really contrasty.

 

[Varga]

Tanks guys.

ISO=LO.3 or 200.

Thanks just an RBTA of some type. He's super small but growing.
