Hi all, so I finally picked up what I considered to be the nicest tank Ive ever owned. A fellow club member was down sizing and I picked up a reefer 250 with stand and sump for a good deal.
Ran into a large hiccup carrying the tank in my wife tripped, she caught the tank but when I was putting my end down I chipped a corner. Ive decided to epoxy it and will test it, it didnt even go halfway so I hope Im good.
Next task is the stand, its white and doesnt match anything in our house. Wife was throwing a fit so I decided to paint it. Lightly sanded the outside and applied two coats of rustoleum professional epoxy. So far this stuff is awesome, has a nice shine, went on smooth and feels like glass when dry, hope it holds up like it feels it should.
We leave on vacation next week so will wait to set it up when we return. Will be moving everything from my 60 cube over so will have plenty of good rock (also got 3 buckets full of live rock from previous owner). Also picked up two bags of live black sand.
