Two big tanks

[2BIGTANKS]

Moved in to a new house and started setting up a 180 reef tank and a 280 freshwater tank.

i completely refinished the stand and canopy, used a sea foam Grew an oil based paint on the outside and a white oil base on the inside

i installed all new soft close hinges as the old ones were super rusted out

pur based a new 180 marine land with corner overflows. My old tank was 18 years old and it was time. she was a good old tank. Gave it away on face book and Payed it forward to a Young guys that said he was going to put new seals on it, and he did, sent me pics, very satisfying.

well things are moving along nicely for the 180

Not sure if I’m doing this right but this is the picture of tank #2, it’s a 280 acrylic that was given to me in very bad shape but after some buffing TLC and a new stand I’m quite pleased with how it turned out.
