Tank is almost finished

[Whistly]

YAY my tank is almost finished. I put expanding foam in it then carved it. Today I put the first layer of silicone onto the tank and Sunday I hope to put the second layer on and press the soil into it. I will put photos on when it's finished.
I have to say I hate the smell of the silicone, it smells of the taste of salt and vinegar chips but an extremely overpowering version.
It's about time I finished it, the frogs have been hibernating for nearly three months and are now starting to wake up. I just haven't had time to do it so I'm now making time for it.

I look forward to seeing pictures. I've been finishing up a new tank of my own and I agree on the silicone thing. Pee-yew!

I'd love to see pics of your tank when it's finished. I accidently took a massive gulp of the fumes so now can just smell and taste silicone 4 hours after using it and my throat tickles.

All of the soil is stuck on and the perspex divider is siliconed in place... my tank IS FINISHED YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY
2 months of hard work finally over and I'm $74 lighter than when I started lol.
I still need to put the plants and water in as the silicone for the divider still stinks nearly 3 days after siliconing, hopefully I can put it in tomorrow (if the silicone doesn't stink).
My frogs are out of hibernation and feeding well, which is great for me, I only had my tads turn into frogs and then a couple of months later they hibernate so I was nervous about that.
I will post pics when the soil and water are in, I hope it looks good, I've got a long wait till it looks at its best as I have to wait for the moss to grow on the soil.
My Bird's Nest Ferns are almost back to full health after their encounter with some locusts with the munchies.

Luke,the feeling of suscess is priceless. You cant buy the feeling that you get from working on a tank.
