57 Gallon Deep Blue Rimless and Deep Blue series 2 stand!
After been in the hobby about a year now, and having my 180 Reef Tank doing so well, I decided to start another tank in my spare bedroom, in which I use for my gaming room. Theirs a futon in their, a 55" flat screen I play Call Of Duty Ghost on , and I the corner I'm going to put my 57 rimless !
To start , I bought home the 57 Gallon Rimless , painted the back Ocean Blue, to give the tank a endless look when looking into the water I also built a 6"platform to raise the tank height, as the Deep Blue Series Stand was only 30" Tall. The stand height is now 36" tall The Build : 57 Gallon Deep Blue Edge 57 with Deep Blue Series 2 stand with side door. Stand fits 30" long sump, by 12.5" wide, by 15" tall Trigger Systems 30" Sump Bubble Magnus Curve 5 Skimmer Jeabo DC3500 Return pump Kessil A360W LED light with gooseneck Apex Jr/ Lite with cord to control Kessil, Temp, PH, wireless adapter to run off my router, so I full control over the tank from my phone 50 lbs Reef Cleaners dry rock , seeded with a few pcs of live rock from my 180 2 bags of live sand Attached Images Attached Images

Went to fill the new tank last night , and it had a leak! Got about 4" filled, and it came through the overflow, and into the holes where the bulk heads were, and down into the stand!
Race o Home Depot last night, grabbed a tube of GE1 Silicone, came home, and silicone up the overflow. Waiting for the clear silicone to turn rom white when you first apply it, to clear, it never did! A hour later I'm checking on the progress, and it never turned clear! I check the tube of GE Silicone 1 and I bought white! ( Crap ) ,got the razor blades out, and started to remove all the white silicone! Woke up this morning, made a trip over to Petco at 10am, bought 2 tube of aquarium black silicone , and just applied it, now I have to wait 48 hours before filling

That's nice, but what has a 57 gallon tank got to do with the 180+ gallon forum?
