Jason g 120g Upgrade

[jason g]

Picked her up today, here's the pics from the ride to her new home. I'm keeping it in my garage so I can sand it and repaint it black. Previous owner plumbed to run as a Saltwater setup. It came with an All Glass Aquarium Sump model 4. I also bought a custom made skimmer that can run up to a 380g tank. I will be running Current Nova T5 72inch 12 bulb fixture. More pics to follow to show progress .

Yes it is I haven't been able to start on it yet. Me and my wife both came down with the Flu. This weekend I plan to start sanding her down and clean the tank out thoroughly.

30 Sump

I decided to buy a 30g tank and have my uncle add the acrylic baffles to it. I've used a wet dry sump before and Im not a big fan of them. I just prefer a custom sump fit to my needs.

Sanding Pics

:rain:Just my luck only got to sand 3 doors and a piece of stand until my sander took a dump on me.

The in laws came to the rescue with a sander. The whole Fam Bam got involved. We finished the stand and I'll finish the canopy next weekend. Here's some fun pics of us from today.

Picked up a used Mag 9.5 900gph as my return pump but at 4feet I will get around 700gph.

So I decided to go with Jacobean color, more of a rustic look. I still need to hit the canopy more and then add the gloss. I spent my Saturday afternoon and night doing this.
