Very nice.

Quick, Easy, Cheap, and Looks Nice. Good job Johnny. What would you recommend for the sealant? I have heard GE silicon II works fine and comes in a variety of colors. Because the silicon sold at aquarium stores is expensive.

I only use DAP Aquarium Silicone. I have seen people use other types but I personally would not. The problem with GE II is it is not rated for submerged use, technically speaking.

Me too, I'm so curious to see what it looks like

These photos and more can be seen here.

Odd that there seems to be an issue with photos from the caudata.org albums. I have stopped using web albums for posts in the two forums as sometimes pictures disappear after a while.

Works fine for me and worked fine for me all day. I can't explain it.

Johnny where do you buy the DAP silicone?

Well, I can't get the pic, but I'm sure it looks good as I've seen yer other work.

I started lookin' at silicone for aquarium use when I had a coupla leakers last month as I was settin' my tanks up. I found Loctite has a 100% silicone, fungicide free silicone. It even says that it is safe for aquarium use on the packaging. Got it at Lowe's for cheaper than the stuff at a pet store. So far so good, ran through the nitrogen cycles and have fish and live plants in one of 'em I used it on. No problems.

I like that thanks WYite. Do you think that Lowe's everywhere carries it? Has anyone else heard of this stuff?
