How's the tank coming Bryan

 

[mr.badams]

Its coming along well... Iv been swamped with work and the family here lately, been meaning to update with more pics. I have also got a painting project going on as well. Having the tank down allows me to paint the room its in . I should have water in it by the end of the week if things go as planned. I will up date pic soon

 

[mr.badams]

I know its been forever and 2 years haha... this is the final pick of the wall in place and all seams blended in.

 

[mr.badams]

And with this tank project i got to finally paint!!!

 

[mr.badams]

Painting done for the most part, at least the wall the tank will go against.

I have a dining room table that is 36" tall and the tank stand I have is only 30" tall... this may not bother most people but it just killed me! so I decided to raise the stand 6". thank god for 2x6's this made it easy for me... believe me I'm no wood worker. The outcome is awesome!

 

[mr.badams]

yes, yes... another boring pic of some paint. i had time to kill waiting on the wood filler to dry.

 

[mr.badams]

First coat of paint... I did learn to use an oil based paint vs a water based paint this time, water based doesn't play so well with salt water

 

[mr.badams]

Paint dry, and base added! One more coat of paint and it will be ready to move inside! I'm getting excited at this point... Like I said I don't do wood work and i think this come out pretty darn good.

 

[mr.badams]

Here's A few views of the new and improved tank. The tank now stands 60" tall now without the canopy on... this will be added last, I need to get the sump and wiring right first.

 

[mr.badams]

I'm now in the process of adding all the RO/DI water, ugh this will take forever.. I started this last night and will continue tonight.

 

[Nanodoc]

[Aquatron]

Yeah nice DIY....your house looks great too!

 

[mr.badams]

Thanks, I'm just ready for it to be done I miss corals and fish!

 

[mr.badams]

I'm not really sure what I'm going to use this for yet... it was a frag tank at first, then a clownfish hatchery that failed big time. i think im going to use as a fudge.

 

[mr.badams]

oh yea, those are 3w cree leds pushing 3.9w hahahahaha...

 

[Aquatron]

Set it up as a natural filter with sponge and tube worms...maybe some sea grass?

 

[mr.badams]

Here is where I was with the water this morning... I'll post another pic to see where I get by the end of the night...
