up.left Posted September 20, 2017 Author Share Posted September 20, 2017 Hey guys. Its been a while! So I sold this entire setup to a guy on craigslist in october 2014. I spent the last week searching all over facebook for the guy based off what i remembered to be his first name alone. I somehow ended up finding him and he still had the tank and stand and was willing to sell them back! So bam! Paypal sent and i am picking up the tank and stand tomorrow to begin a rebuild 3 years later! So here is where i will begin my resurrection : ) Looking forward to it! 3 Quote Link to comment

up.left Posted October 9, 2017 Author Share Posted October 9, 2017 Finished rebuilding the stand. It needed a new top and bottom due to water logging. I painted it with marine paint. I added a drain in the first baffel to drop the water line. It no longer surface skims with the overflow with the current powerhead but idc. I prefer the easier to deal with waterline. I sealed over the original clear silicone bead with a second one around the tank and re siliconed the back wall in with black. I ordered some trim to trim the bottom of the tank, not sure if ill use it. I took a headlight restoration kit to the back and was able to buff out 90% of the scratches in the acrylic wall. I added an innovative marine leveling mat to the top of the stand. Finally i painted the sides of the tank from the acrylic wall to the back. 1 Quote Link to comment
