NiceNakago,
By definition all silicones have silicates in them, very little of the silicates leech into the water, glass is also made from silicates, it's not an issue.
Java,
Do you have any pics of that DIY tank with the cichlids in it yet?

That's what I was afraid of, the price of the glass. Still, it's cheaper than you can buy a tank that size for. Besides, I love working on projects.
