    I would love to build my own tank. Regular GE clear silicone or what? Anyone have any plans? Do you get the glass at a regular glass store and have them cut it to size?

    the silicon i used was glass silicon that was aquarium safe, its 100% silicone with no fungicides or any nasties, and i did get the glass from a store cut to size with the holes pre drilled they were very helpful
