Default Grizz's 116 gal FOWLR rebuild - 90% done but up & running

Picked up a sweet shaped 116 gal tank awhile back from Mike (fishyfishy). It really needed to be re-sealed, there are no holes or overflow.

I decided after I peeled out all the internal corner beads that it just needs to be totally dismantled. So away I went, was able to slide a razor blade down each corner between the glass pains separating each corner. Removed all the remaining silicone and cleaned the glass.

Decided to go with black silicone on this build, thanks to Concept Aquariums for hooking me up with it.

Here is what it looked like to start.



Going to build an overflow box on the back in order to keep the volume the same. Going to euro brace it as well, not sure if I will go one piece as it will depend on the cost.

More pics to follow soon.
