saltykid96 Posted January 24, 2016 Author Share Posted January 24, 2016 And last but not least, I bought my brother a 40 "cube" that I found. He will be using it for freshwater so we sealed the holes that were already drilled in it and painted it too. Just thought I would throw this in while I was taking pics Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saltykid96 Posted January 24, 2016 Author Share Posted January 24, 2016 Did a second and third coat on all three tanks today and am about to do a second coat on the stand. Ordered a sock holder from Salty Critter to go on the end of my 75 that will be a sump. He has to make it a little wider than their normal ones so it will fit over the end rather than the side. Also placed a large order on BRS for the rest of the things I think I need. Hopefully that will be here by wednesday.

Joe Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Awesome. Have your brother get on here and do a build for the 40 cube. Thats a nice tank! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saltykid96 Posted January 25, 2016 Author Share Posted January 25, 2016 Awesome. Have your brother get on here and do a build for the 40 cube. Thats a nice tank!Lol I wish he would. He's not big into this stuff at all. I convinced him to try a few small cichlids but that's about it. I did all the work on his tank.Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saltykid96 Posted January 25, 2016 Author Share Posted January 25, 2016 So... I got lazy and didn't put a second coat of stain on the stand or do the doors but I did make up for that by drawing up a complete plan of how I want to do my plumbing. I am also am using tons of unions because down I will will move out and I want to be able to take it all apart, especially since we made the stand so that it can all come apart very easily in the future.

crimsonvice Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Yeah I wish I would have used more unions on my tank. I didn't think about it with this being my first run, and kinda regret it. Oh well, we all learn from our mistakes. Sent from my Star Trek communicator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
