Chaeto tank is built and curing.
With a whole lot of elbow grease, I managed to remove all the glass from the broken 5.5g to re-use the trim.
I was quite shocked to see how much silicone Aqueon used. The whole upper trim was sealed to the glass.
I couldn't fit 6mm in it, but 5mm fit perfectly. A FAR cry from the flimsly 2mm the original came with. It feels nice and solid now.
Pics to come in 2-3 days when it's tested and plumbed.

I'm gettin' a little impatient with the rock cooking. We'll see how long I can hold out.
Once all these fussy things are done, it may be time to fill the system, scape it and put some fish in the QT
After all, it's only been 3-1/2 months since I started this journal, and 6 since I decided to go SW

You are a little "impatient" with the rock cooking ? .... hahaha ... nice try to say that, Greg You have LOTS of patience and I think you are actually trying to torture everybody, especially ME, to have to wait to see your tank when it is running
By the way, I got 2 racks from Home Depot. LOVE IT !

well Im gonna give Greg props for taking the time to do it right and not settle for "good enough".....I think way to many people settle for the way things work out instead of taking the time and expense of re-doing something that isnt functioning or looking right.....

Great looking build Greg!....

Hehe, thanks everyone. I know you may think I'm too patient. As I told Casey, it may be a case of OCD
Ya, I do feel like I'm torturing many, myself included.
I'm also worried you're all going to be disappointed once you see it wet. I only bought 14# LR and am not going to stuff it with critters right off
Thanks fishy for your thoughts. I'm hoping I'm not fussing with it once it's wet
