haha i know!! I still can't believe it.

Bad news is i am going to have to tear that tank apart and reglue it. The seams at the bottom have been getting air bubbles in them all week. I don't understand it. Each day I come home to another 2" line of bubbles even though the silicon has been dry for 10 days now. Very odd and frustrating. Only thing I can think that might cause it would be the excess heat.

How's the tank build going? Any updates?

I haven't gotten around to tearing the tank apart yet. I am working on taking down my 60gal cube, transferring everything to a temporary 40 breeder. I'm putting everything thru a dip routine to get rid of hydroids as well.

I hope to get back to this tank very soon, but the problem is that the seams are very tight. I cannot even get a razorblade all the way in between the glass. So I am going to need to use my clamps as prybars to give a little outward pressure and cut the seams that way. Its just a matter of finding the time :/

I read somewhere that fishing line pulled down between the glass cuts through silicone.

Thanks! Yah a friend had suggested that, I just haven't had the time to do it yet
