looks like it took ages.
good luck fixing the brace,how was it held on the tank, i didnt think silicone would stick to plastic?

Re: 238l rescape PICS ADDED NOW!
it looks great chilled.
I've never used sand before so I don't know if it's possible (or even an improvement ) but it looks a little deep at the front to me. could you slope it down to the front a bit more or is it too fluid?

Re: 238l rescape PICS ADDED NOW!
Its deffo an improvement, I could slope it down but I think its fine as it is. Its not very deep, Its only 1inch deep, That to me was a mini amount as i wanted to guarantee that after a natural shift by the fish that the glass did not show through. The sand so far has not been a problem at all.

Re: 238l rescape PICS ADDED NOW!
what about metal to replace the brace? could use a length of L section aluminium. two short lengths to go along the glass on either side and a long length to span the tank it could just hook over the top if it is insulated from the glass. then bolt the bits togeather with some galvernised bolts. the wood trim should hide it if the thickness is quite low
