Some good, bad and ugly parts of DIY aquarium building.. Telling what has recently been done and showing how things look in real time. What works and what doesn't. Also, the Wife's Christmas present.

I always appreciate an aquarium big enough to climb into! 🙂 Looking forward to seeing some Cichlids in there soon!

it was GE 1 Silicone 100% Silicone . 100% waterproof.. Ive used it in all of my builds and reseals. Works fine for me.. There are a few others, however be sure its fish and livestock safe.

How far does the pond armour go? Like is there a square footage? I know you have to put multiple coats on.

Hello. Yes, the kit tells how much coverage at said thickness. I like 2-3 extra layers and extra for touch up.. I actually experimented with 1st kit, many years ago. I laid 1 heavy coat on an unprepped plywood board. 8 inch x 8 inch. I let it cure for 24 hours and man was that tough. A screwdriver and hammer could barely dent it. I think it wouldve held water like that, just fine. Im just a 6 coating kinda guy.

If you are speaking of Pond Armor, yes, there are many colors. I use black on back and sides and tan on bottom.

I will do a cost breakdown asap. Tank and Stand. There are so many little costs, like pumps and lights and heaters and filter media and plumbing and glass tops and power strips. These are all needed for any aquarium, so I will detail the build costs..

Have you got rid of the big tank ?

No sir. A couple months back, I made a decision to reduce energy costs with the 1210g system and downsized the maintank by over half to 450g.. I have smaller return pump and less lights and waterchanges are only 100g every 2 weeks now. Still using 210g sump and all is well. Thanks for asking. I had this glass in spare room and decided to build the 300g to go back in dining room with South and Central that are more aggressive.. p.s. I surely like your Cubans.

Thanks for dropp'n by. I have had great reliability with the pond armor and silicone applications. I have 1 build approaching 8 years of service flawlessly. I believe it will easily perform another 30+ years. I say 30 years, because I might retire from fishkeeping by then ?
