I like it a lot. I can't find one bubble. It's great.

72*36*24 is perfect!!!

Sorry to butt in but surly the reason you can not find a bubble in the joints is because the silicon is black so you can't see through it?

so its not possible for a bubble to be on the surface of the silicone and right on the glass. I thought you get bubbles when the silicone meets the glass and not introduced in the silicone it self.

I was under the impression it was the other way round?

I was going to go with AO but decided against it because they only use black silicone. It does look really nice on your tank; however it's just not my taste.

Good luck I should of been a postal worker lol

I like the black silicone a lot. especially since the tank does not have plastic trim.
