Hello my fishy comrades. I have another build that I've been documenting.
I stumbled across a free, broken 34 gallon solana. This makes 2, yes, 2 free 34 gallon Solanas that I've attained.
This one was in fair shape besides the broken back panel. The original stand had a ruined top but at least it still had the stand.
It's not complete yet but I wanted to share it here.
Just after I removed the back glass and the filter wall.
Ruined top on the stand
Getting clean
Masked out and ready for new glass
Filter wall after 2 days in a vinegar bath
Made a new top using reclaimed oak flooring. Decided to go 2"wider on either side.
Sorry for that last blurb pic
Top reinstalled, tank sitting back on its stand.
Glass will be ordered this week along with the rtv silicone. More to come soon.
