Got this 90 gallon tank and stand from my good friend Sitaga. I turned my old swim tank into a reef, but I still love the aggressive fish so I decided to put another 90 gallon swim in my office. Was in pretty bad shape when I got it, I wish I would have taken some pictures of it before I started working on it. Oh well.  After I sanded it, primed and painted the tank and stand. Before when I was cleaning it there was about 2 inches think salt deposits on the inside of the stand and tank.   Just finished adding the sand.  Starting to add water. About now is when I got the sick feeling when I realized I didnt test it to see if it held water before... Turned out find tho, phew.   All new plumbing. Sitaga did it, I think I'm finally ready to do my next one haha.  Sump. Don't love it, but it works for a swim.  Sitaga installing my RO system. Currently I've added my live rock, green water, and just making sure everything is perfect before I put my fish in. I will add some pictures when I've got it full of fish, should be this week. This is my old swim ( lots hiding, impossible to get them all out at the same time) handful of them stayed in my reef tho. This is what my new tank should look like pretty soon.  ------------- Indefinite hiatus from sw aquariums. Once I have my glorious return I'll set back up the following. 50 Gallon rimless cube. 180 Gallons mixed reef paradise |
