Sweet! I want to know how it turns out I would have driven up to help out if you needed me to.

I carved my initials in the side glass panel so i could be remembered for helping

It took just a few minutes to put down the silicone.There is about 200 lbs of weight to firmly hold the glass down.I have four more guys coming over tommorrow to flip the tank over.I will be siliconeing the inside edge of the euro bracing as well as the outside of the tank.
