Fantastic photos Brett! But next time can you give the Emerald a chance to shave her legs first.

Yes, those clips to hold the pane in are junk.

I ran a 1" long bead of silicone, (top bottom & sides), on the inside to secure it. If I ever need to remove it, it I will only have to slice the little blobs of silicone

Cheers

Haha thanks. Yeah she's a bit of a dirty girl. The hermits are into it so I don't expect her to shave those things.

When I got her she had these super tiny little....bugs...mites? They would circle around her body and claws at damn near the speed of light it was crazy. I've done some reading and others have noticed these as well. They are either all red or all white. Not redbugs no doubt about that. Anyways post molt...they are all gone. Weird.

Hey great idea. So the hold is strong? You don't mean a continuous bead but just one up top...one down below? I need my fix to hold against my son leaning on it.

Well its plenty strong to hold glass in, (non-continuous bead). It might be better it if let go,(broke free from door), rather then your son putting his arm through it when it stays in place and breaks. It is thin un-tempered glass and could really cause some bad cuts.

That's a good point. So it's not even tempered? That seems kinda silly to me. I'm tempted to get a thin piece of plywood veneer and replace it. I know I couldn't personally match the stain so I'd make it a totally different color.

Some great pics Brett ! Gotta love the bi-color blenny, I don't think in all the time I've done salt water have I gone very long without having one.
