Just let me know...

Just a dumb question since I have never painted a tank before. Why did you use roll on paint rather than spray paint?

I believe is because its easier to apply and less of a mess.

[jeb102385]

Roll on is easier to keep on the tank and off the trim and floor. It is also easier to keep the thickness consistent across the whole tank.

So here is my stand that is getting redone.... just for reference, it is 3 different colors, has 1 door (the other is inside the stand), has a golfball sized hole in the side, and is missing the middle support board between the doors in the front. Needless to say it needs a bit of work!

Got the sump setup and got my led's in too... now all that's needed is the stand and ill be ready to go

Good job on the fuge. Those lights look familiar. You test them yet?

[jeb102385]

I just took that pic... they are still sitting on the ground in the dog room

Make sure to get some filter before the return so you can minimize anything going into the pump or tank.

[jeb102385]

And the sump was actually pretty easy... just a 40b and $12 in glass from lowes

[jeb102385]

Ya... going to get a sponge to put in there

[jeb102385]

Hung the leds over the 90 tonight. The 90 is the same height as the 120 so the light will work perfectly. Also got the return pump yesterday. So the tank is one stand away from being a true project.

Looks good can't wait to see the 120 up

Now next time remove or hide the glass cleaner when doing an FTS. Looks good otherwise.
