Thanks for the help.

hey scott , yeah its denny here


basically remove any of the white shims between the tank and styrofoam and start to fill with water as it gets heavy it will settle provided your stand is plum and square and level.


also your silicone is on its way my buddy

ps....looking good man looking good this is gonna be a sweet build

Hey Denny,

The stand is square & plumb according to my 4 ft level and all the measurements. So I don't know where the little droop is coming from but if you're not concerned I will start filling it sometime this week and see how it settles.

Could you also send me a small piece of 1/2" glass the same size as the side of the external overflow? I need to replace the one I broke out.

Thanks again!
