RWReef, 270g Peninsula in wall and Fish room upgrade

This looks fantastic!

Grabbed a sweet deal on this 100g stock tank during a grand opening of my new local Tractor Supply for $70, normally $100. I will use it to cure rocks....and maybe something else fun afterwards!

Looks like a fun build. I've always wanted a peninsula tank, but none of my houses has been setup well for one.

When I drywalled my garage in the last house I spend a couple of weeks sanding that dang thing. Such a mess. On this project, I've got 6 inside corners to do and 1 outside corner

I've learned to do many thin coats and sand less. However, I am better at sanding than mudding for sure. Remember less is more! Haha

Huge milestone today. Tank is on the stand!

@Joe Glass Cages , the tank is rock soild and sits nicely on the stand. Lots of preperation made the move easy today thankfully.

 

[rwreef]

Leak testing started today after quadruple checking the stand was level and square. Appear to be no issues 6 hrs into the test. I will let it sit for a few weeks while I work.
