Yep that's about it, the metal frames just added another seal which wouldn't have been needed if the windows had gone all the way to floor, and sealing to metal seems to have been the problematic bit.
Black sealant is:GOLD LABEL

It's very good stuff, i'd use it over silicone anyday. Sticks everything with a waterproof seal, non toxic and can set underwater so is fish safe, and none of the nice strong smells that silicone gives off either.
i'm gonna use CT1 on my glass/acrylic (yes i said acrylic - its cheaper and stronger). half the cheapest price i got quoted on glass and way stronger pound for pound. CT1 is VOC free and seriously does stick lick poo to a blanket, under water etc. etc.
I enjoyed reading about your build, sorry you were unable to finish it. Best of luck with you next build!
Still just waiting to sell off the last of the fish, only about 12" of water in the bottom now (which the Big RTCxTSN is really not happy about) to make fishing easier. Soon as they're out and it's empty, i'll put on some demolition pictures.
SUNCAT, THE RESURRECTION!
Only a couple of fish left and not much water in so carried out tarp removal. The Suncat is back!
2 clarius also still hiding under tarp. Fish left now are the P-Bass, headstander, Acanthicus Adonis, 2 Clarius, and the Suncat (although that's going later today for it's own safety from the Bass) if anyone's interested in them.
Some pics of removal, the big pile of bricks and slabs at the end now they've all been removed, didn't think i'd used that many!

Oops, forgot pics. Blue background was definately worth it though seeing it as just liner now. Can hardly see the Adonis.
Fish pics. Can see the Clarius fine now, Headstander's tricky to spot and the Adonis in the 3rd pic is impossible most of the time.
'Big Fella' the RTCxTSN Hybrid went to a guy who i'm gonna call 'The Catfish Whisperer' from now on, had a couple of RTC's at 32" and 40" already and obviously loved his fish very much so was happy to leave Big Fella there..............although in comparison he's not that big now. The guy just stroked him gently in the box for 5 min then lifted him out and into the new pond by hand, was quite special to watch as he'd never been that calm and ok with being touched before. Sorry, no pictures of it.
Edit: wrong pics!
