Old Silicone?

I removed all of the silicone and thoroghly cleaned the seams with acetone, then rinsed then dried and applied a generous bead of aquarium silicone. Waiting almost 10 days before filling the tank. Leaked like a sieve. Went to Wal-mart and brought a whole set-up for $100. For me, it wasn't worth the aggravation. I hope you have a better experience.

Makes me thrilled to hear... I'm about to take apart a 240g to reseal/rebuild it. LOOOONG water test to follow. With plenty of sand. I want more weight than it will have in use.
 
Oh c'mon Barry...
I did this before - it's about how clean you can work...

LOL... you've seen how clean I work! I plan to build the stand this week and get started (using the stand as an assembly table).
