GO DUCKS!!!
I had to tear this tank down last April or so to fix the leak in the rim. It had been running about a year and doing ok not great. So this was a chance for me to change a few things up as well. I finally got around to doing the rockwork over the weekend, snapped some pics and here we are 
So here is my silicon job on the rim. I used a few razor blades and removed as much of the black silicon as I could get to between the plastic rim and the glass. Then I applied the silicon all the way around the rim. I had tried to just do the side that leaked with no luck
Here we sit empty

Back section you can see my DIY media tower and Lee's air skimmer I did a few mods to
Here I was testing out the skimmer while the rock cycled
Running an Eheim 1048 for the return instead of the MJ1200 I had. So much quieter!

I found another little one at my LFS so he's the only fish in the tank. I made a fence so there won't be anymore jumping. I also removed the lid so I could install 2 cyan bulbs in place of the 2 UV bulbs that burnt out. I have my 4-24" T5 fixture over it for the mean time, and I gotta say I love the color of ATI T5s!
