Following along! The build is looking excellent. Did you just add silicone over the existing seams?

Actually I don't need to do this. I am powder coating it, which provideds a seamless, waterproof and a scratch resistant cover.

I meant on the aquarium itself.

Yes, and then I applied an epoxy on the outside that should seal to silicone.

*Quick update* I just sort of finished the display board. I made 3 front panels to go above where everything would be mounted.

To get the shape it was quite difficult as I used a hole cutter and then a circular saw to cut out the middle. I finished with a sanding to round the edge off and to smooth everything down.

Sorry y’all I haven’t posted anything lately! I have been to busy to have time to work with the hobby but I am back. I had a 3d design of the stand however my computer was erased. However I will attempt to share the dimensions or I can do custom orders. Dm for extra information. The tank is now filled up and it’s amazing however I am yet to light the electronics. Also if anyone has ideas on how to integrate a ro supply for top off plz share!
