60Gal Dart Tank-Taking the Plunge...

[Katieasaur]

Well, I went out and bought the GS foam and silicone to do the background on the 60gal tank and I will be doing it into a dart tank

So now I gotta get to it....with some help from my dad (hopefully), and make it into a really nice tank for some leucomelas.

I will post pictures while I do it.

Plus I still have to either find a tank stand or build one or something lol

You know you can use cheap kitty litter as a clay background right?

i know but i really just wanted to try this first, in case it ends up being a something else tank too lol
it ended up taking 3 cans of GS foam to do the whole background

You're doing a 60 gallon tank...try more than doubling that. I just started siliconing my 131 gallon and it's a lot harder than I thought...but I didn't do it right the first time, so just make sure you cover it really well with the silicone. Don't be afraid to use that stuff up! D:

On a side note, my dad totally helped me with my first build too, what a weird coincidence. XD;

[Katieasaur]

yeah 6 cans on silicone later, and I'm still not sure if it is enough, but i'll just have to wait and see
