My wife picked this used tank up for me for Christmas. It has small problems, as anything used (and sometimes new) will have.
So I got started by cutting out and replacing all the corner silicone and redoing the sump so the water level will be about 4 inches higher so it would be a little better for a DSB refugium.
I'm going to be adding a shelf to the stand around the base of the tank so I yanked off the trim around the upper part and I'm not really a fan of the color so I pulled all of the hardware off of it in order to prep for a repaint. Nothing too fancy as I don't want to take any attention from the tank or stained glass panels. I'll be ordering sand and rock from Marcorocks and using Dr. Tims to get the cycle a bit shorter. I'm hoping I'll have it full of water in about two weeks.
Wish me luck.
