Downsizing, and not being very efficient with my storage has been a challenge! Bought a new boomer today Soccer was right up the street from the fish store I am weak!

Jon Fishman Posted May 6, 2019 Author Share Posted May 6, 2019 (edited) So much glare. You can see the reflection from the ceiling of the garage. It is amazing after one coat. I will see how it looks when it dries.... Then another coat and mostly get inside the bark on the edges more.

Fishoutofwater Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 The bar topper is super glossy. My cousin makes bars out of bowling alley and seals it with that same stuff. We had to move some lights on one bar he made because the glare was blinding. It’s looking great Jon Fishman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Fishman Posted May 11, 2019 Author Share Posted May 11, 2019 Sump I got is too tall. Trashing it and buying a nice one. Other than that, I have to stand almost done. I am just loose fitting the pieces now because I will still have to drop the sump in it, but I plan to put new facia on it, and paint etc. I may leave the front panel “removable”I’m making it more “bar height” if you will....

Jon Fishman Posted May 20, 2019 Author Share Posted May 20, 2019 (edited) 24-hours post-split. The other is hiding and I can only see the foot, and the occasional tentacles reaching out, so I have no idea how it is doing....... Edit: Other half is starting to come out of hiding....

Jon Fishman Posted May 25, 2019 Author Share Posted May 25, 2019 Doesn’t look like much of an update but the stand is all secured now....... and i got a little new friend from the store. He is just starting to open up. Oh. and they started the tank!!!! Anyone use “Reinforced Fiberglass plastic “ as a bottom in lieu of starboard? It is black and textures and made for bathrooms etc. I would love to put this as the bottom but can’t find a definitive answer via the internet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fishoutofwater Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 I used the white nrp board as wainscoting in my basement it’s paintable and is what they use in car washes and commercial bathroom type places. It’s mold and mildew proof so I’m not sure if it has some sort of inhibitors in the mix. That’s basically the same stuff only in black so I would be Leary to put in the tank. I was thinking of using it as the background of my tank. But outside of it attached to the back. That way if I get rid of the tank it’s clear on both sides still.
