Day 192

I inspected the 140gal. this morning, two issues were found. First is a large air bubble in silicone on bottom right, this air bubble was cut and filled. I was sure to have new silicone touch bottom and side panel because silicone has a hard time sticking to itself, this bubble was not between panels but inside tank. The other issue is one side panel when cut at the factory was not a 90* cut, when we put this panel next to another, the 1/2" edge was half sealed. I worked from outside of tank pushing silicone in, filling gap. These two issues could have been avoided, just slow down and check all seals(too much vodka-haha). Although it is advised not to mess with newly sealed tank because it starts to cure in first 20 min. Putting plastic top and bottom on tank Sat., leak test Monday.
