mike if the water is not heated yet and you have no heating in the room it is possible but you would usally see moisture also on the acrylic pannel

need to get the filters running get it heated and see what happens mate monitor it over a few days

cheers alan, good to know it can happen. no problems today with it, but still a little greasy here and there. no water which is the main thing.

got the front facia fixed now and all the top covered with the polycarb plastic, works a treat. waiting for a fish shop up north to get back to me, they had BD AQUARIUM SAND for 9.99 (25kg) seeing if they will stick five bags on a courier.

tank's doing fine, no more worries from the silicone it hasn't got any worse at all.
put a couple of heaters in it tonight, i know its way off being enough but its a start. filled one of the filter section with pan scrubbers so atleast its got something in it until i can get things rolling soon. take some pics tomorrow.

i am now the proud owner of over a hundred pan scrubbers in the filter, all well and good but when you go to the check out at sainsburys with a basket full of solely pan scrubbers they look at you as if you have O.C.D.
