this looks awesome.
what kind of silicone are you using to adhere the drylok and glass?

LOL. I love the grass-roots DIY. be interested to see how the drylok holds up on OSB. This thing aint gonna be pretty, but it'll be another good piece of info!

Im using GE silicone 1 that i had from a previous project. Mounted the glass last night,cant post pics until later. Starting my filter today also, an old school out tank gravel filter.

If this doesnt work out,im using the glass for a drylok on hardiboard tank.

Also, anyone recommend something to stock it with?i was thinking a peacock eel or a shoal of exodons

 

[big dovii]

exodons would be pretty dope.

I filled it up with water last night,just to see if i got all nooks and crannys, held water fine for 2 hours then i decided to empty it to let the paint cure a bit more. Pics will come tonight,i promise!

Most drylok tanks start leaking after about 1 year. and some sooner than that.
