    Interesting. I've never heard of anyone not putting a bead of silicone down before attaching the two pieces of glass together. Perhaps the added support helps but I personally wouldn't skip that step (I overbuild everything 😊). Hopefully your tank lasts a very long time. Thanks for the video....

    Well its good to see videos like this once in a while to stay normal. The moment i saw duct tape i had all the confidence in your craftsmanship and i'm pretty sure all the experienced hobbyists will agree with that. 😊
    Have a few doubts apart from the build, if you could let me know.
    1. How many days you let the silicone to cure ?
    2. When to add water ?
    3. When to add fish ?
    4. How often do we need to change water and the volume ?
    5. How effective is that filtration (if it is) ?
