Psssh! "Slow" builds. Tee hee! Snicker! I'm not worried about losing my title on this at all.

While we're on the topic, I agree that I don't see anything "half arsed" about this build so far. Looks pretty fine to me!

might've gone a little overboard on the silicone...every single bulkhead....front and back...no leaks now!

ha ha tank has 15 gallons water. We're going to go with bottled RO/DI water and add Instant Ocean Salt for the first bit..mainly because bottled pre mixed is 8 dollars for 4 gallons...so we'll hit the store tomorrow and buy another 60 or so gallons and wait for the rock/sand to get here before we add anymore...wooooopah!
