Just got this tank last week....needs some tlc and had a small crack in the bottom. 1. Fixed the crack with new pieces of acryllic bonded around the crack. 2. Replaced seals around leaky bulkheads. First water test confirmed crack is sealed and bulkheads sealed. second water test to ensure 100% water tight. if it passes water test I will begin sanding (1000 & 2000 grit wet sanding) then buffing to a new clear finish. Update with pictures as it goes.  |

Looking forward to watch this build. I love that stand/tank combination, it just cries SW or Rift Lake.

Nice indeed. My foray into the Saltwater World was a complete disaster, Gabe can attest to that. I'll have to live through this build.
You did a remarkable job on restoring that Aquarium. Looking forward to watching this tank progress. Do you have any plans in regards to what you are going to eventually stock the tank with?

I plan on bringing all my fish and corals home as they have all been in foster care for a month. I have pair of 2 striped damsels, a pair of Ocellaris clowns a pair of green chromis and a fox face. also a small cleanup crew. many different coral mostly softies. eventually I'd like to go with lps and sps but that will be once the tank is more established. I'll post a few pics later tody. |
