Thanks for the replies guys, @Sammy LOL i managed to find a half decent plumber, AND hes family...LOL. See you this afternoon.
im sturggling to find something to replace the polystyrene, its so ugly. and im not going to build the cupboard around the stand just yet so really want to make it look nice as is, can anyone suggest anything, i have seen this thick rubber before and im sure it could be used but i have no idea where to get it

Go to a picture framer and have them make you a neat profile that fits around.
@RocketRooster , its not just the edges, i want the top flat to be black too, im not adding substarte into tank for now so want it to be black at bottom of tank.

Top flat is easy to do. Lay down some tape to mark out your border, get a thin layer of black silicone going with a credit card or such, then pull away tape. Voila!
Cape Rubber in Paarden Island will have what you want !
Nice job sofar! Tagging

Family have been here for the holidays so progress been very slow.have managed to get the foam to replace polystyrene, not using gooseneck returns anymore and have had tank drilled for returns.
