            its going to hold. You did a great job. the test should go good. Cleaning and removel of the old silicone is the hard part. any trash under the new silicone may cuase leaks.
            Looking forward to seeing the canopy.

                                Just seems sketchy to me! I woulda put it on the ground with a few two by fours.

                                But all aside , looking good tank sealed and its holding. Nicely done. Now the fun part new tank setup. Whooo hoooo
