Jgraz's Custom 15"x15"x12" SPS Nano

Thanks everyone for the compliments. There will be no demonstrations ever of my lack of tank making skills. I'll leave that to the pros. Any way here is a new pic of the tank cleaned up and in its home.
Still got a lot to do though and none of it happens until this tank sits with water for a few days.

Nice! I can even see your reflection in the glass. 
There are loads of differing RTV's........What RTV did you use on this build?

This was RTV 108. This one is clear, I was gonna use 103 which is black. Glad I didn't.
Got a AI Nano all lined up and ready to go. Right now I have it lighting up my sump that way I can get used to the controls.
Oh and we have a successful water test. At this point it's been holding for about 3 hrs. I think I'm good to go.
Next up is drilling for the glass holes kit and I still need to find something to sit under it. I was hoping to get black mouse pad kind of material but have been unsuccessful in finding it. Any ideas? Or I'll just go with styrofoam and put a nice moulding around it.
I had a block of wood with the same size hole. That helps with drilling the Hole. . The most important thing is to go slow and keep it wet.

I've drilled before though that was a 20gal. Not as much riding on that. This time what I did was still the glass panel that had the cracked corner. Got the holes where I want them and now I have an exact template to drill the tank. I'll just lay the drilled glass on top secure and start my holes. No worries about the bit walking and then I'll just remove the piece to finish off the hole.
This might work, you might need to get two has its 13"x10", Monoprice Gaming Mouse Pad
they have a larger one at 17"x13" too
I found a few different ones online, but was hoping to find one local. I might try dicks or sports authority for exercise mats.
Lol I missed understood. What is the purpose of the mat underneath? They make black rubber vibration pads for furnace or air handlers. The make them in 1x1 cut outs so you can make them to the size you want. I know carrier sells them. But they are thicker than a mouse pad. Not sure if that would work for you.

Basically I helps to relieve pressure points under the tank that could cause sit "off". They usually have a bit of give to them like styrofoam. Im trying to avoid styrofoam mainly cause I don't want to put anything around the tank to cover it up.
Thanks definitely let me know.
