Cool. That sounds exciting. Can't wait to see your "upside down" tank. Looks like someone is going to be starting another new build thread! Good luck. :)
Love this! Don't love the price, any DIY ideas?

I kind of have two threads going about the development of my tank so I'm going to write to a moderator to try and merge these.
Ok, I've got my glass cut for a little tank. I couldn't glue them for two reasons. First, I'm not able to find aquarium grade silicone. My LFS guy is out and Home Depot didn't have any. I could have tried Petco but I don't like to shop there due to animal abuse allegations. Second, I'm kind of stuck on my design. I would like this tank to house a herd of pixie seahorses. Pixie's eat only live brine shrimp. I've got an idea to add about 4 inches to the back of my tank that would be dedicated to keeping live brine shrimp that would be able to swim into the main tank as a food supply. I spent a long time looking for something like this and can't find anything so I'm thinking there must be a problem with the idea. Any suggestions?

You can find aquarium grade silicone at any hardware store. It just isn't labeled with "Aquarium Safe". Like Daugherty said, Silicone I won't have antimicrobial additives. Silicone II does. So buy any brand of Silicone I.
