mariog Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 What's up guys, been stalking everyone's tanks and discussion in the background while setting up my first tank. Today I painted the back of the tank and I'm finishing up dry fitting the plumbing. Just looking for some suggestions if you have any. I started with a 40B and a 10 gal sump, but since the dollar per gallon sale was back I upgraded to a 20H for my sump. Link to comment
mariog Posted July 27, 2016 Author Share Posted July 27, 2016 Gunna upload some more pics when I get home. I remember seeing someone suggesting to use some inline tag to add pictures instead of using the uploading feature--does anyone know how I can do this? Link to comment
mariog Posted July 29, 2016 Author Share Posted July 29, 2016 Originally, the plan was to wrap the stand and stain it, but as I'm sure everyone knows DIY-ing doesn't always go as planned. With the tanks (10 gal sump later changed to 20H) Tried staining, didn't go well, so now she is just black. Drilled three holes, two for my Herbie overflow and one for my return. Almost finished plumbing. Link to comment
mariog Posted July 29, 2016 Author Share Posted July 29, 2016 Looking nice with some hard plumbing and a new sump (yay for dollar per gallon). Got my overflow box And finally painting the back of the tank! OH, does anyone know what works well to get the extra primer off PVC? I wanna keep them white, but I want it to look clean!
