looks nice man...

Wish my garage had windows

Thanks guys. Now I just need to let it air out in the garage and for the varnish smell to go away before I bring it inside, which gives me time to go and work on the plumbing of the tank.

Here's what it currentl looks like in the garage..

Thanks!

That looks really nice...

I need to start cutting some holes in the walls of my garage for some windows

If you had windows to your garage, make sure they are wired to the house alarm. Its pretty easy for people ot get into the garage through a window if its not wired to the house alarm you would never know.

Now I have to re arrange the media room to find a place for the 90 gallon, since this 125 will take its place in the breakfast room..

What brand tank is it?

[Hangman]

The 90 is an old Oceanic, the 125 is an Aqueon. I have the old Oceanic 125 that came with the stand and canopy, but the Aqueon is newer so I will be using that.Aqueon

Damm man that is some awsome refinishing you did

[tbui1178]

Wow! You did an awesome job with the stand Dillin. Did you sand it all the way down and restain it?

[Hangman]

Thanks. I did not strip it down. If you are going darker, Minwax makes a product called Polyshade. Its a tinted Polyurethan, that you can apply over existing stains. Just requires a light sanding with 220 sand paper so that it can have a good adhesion to the wood.

Well, the 125 refinish came out really nice, so I decided to refinish my 90 gallon as well. While I was at it, I decided to build myself a canopy too. Here's the results..
