I completed sealing the aquarium on Sunday. I used a silicone sealant that needs to cure for 7 days. I could test it before the 7 day deadline, but I was advised to let it cure for as long as possible before adding water to test it.

I took pictures on Sunday and have yet to download them. They aren't exciting yet...

I also sanded and painted my stand and brought it home to display a 20 gallon tank I already have. I need to find a way to secure the stand to the wall. I noticed that when I walk near it, it does wobble a little. I'd hate for a 55 gallon tank of water to fall.

If you have any suggestions, I'd appreciate them. The stand is wrought iron and has no holes drilled into the legs at all for me to screw in a brace. Other stands that I have had in the past did...

Could you screw some Mouting Head Cable Ties into the wall using dry wall anchors, and then zip the tie around the leg?

That's a good idea. I'm going to look into it.
