I did it!!!!!!!

frogiii · #1 12/27/2007, 06:13 PM

I was going to give up but, I did it. Thank you all for not buying my tank and made me set this tank up

hehe. I though i share the progress.

I was sanding stands and buffing out deep scratches inside the tank. I didn't know it can be very dusty sanding the stand. my garage was filled with dust everywhere. bad idea.

after sanding, I spray paint primal before the black color paint.

Black paint have been painted over the primal paint.

Tank was buffed as much as I can. My arm felt out of my shocket

back side for plumbing to my blue 30g sump.

compelte with L/R and Sand

I forgot to take shoot inside the stand where ASM G3 is in operation in sump. I was hoping to get Eheim 1262 but never was availible so, i grab mag9.5 from pacific reef when they had 50% off sale($75.00)

I still need to built canopy or buy from someone who doesn't need and retro kit MH with VHO lights etc... etc..... more $$$ pulling my hair out....

Homdepot has spay can for primal paint. I got 2 cans but, end up using only one can. After primal has dried, I used latex based paint with roller brush to paint over the primal paint. I painted 3 coat. It didn't come out good i dont think. I should have put one more coat over it.
