DAY 1
It took 4 people and a lot of lifting but its now at my house. Ive separated the tank from the stand so i can stain the stand and work on cleaning the tank.
Tank (85" L x 23" W x 31 H) I put a 5 gallon bucket there for comparison. PS..it was really heavy.
I was really nervous about the stand being able to take the weight of a full tank and rock and everything so i went to lowes and got some 2x8's and reenforced it with some 2x4 braces. Thing is rock solid now..(knocking on wood )
So now i have a question. The seal on the tank looks really good. There is a little bit of dust collection from sitting for 6 mo, but the guy i bought it from says it was up and running 6 months ago. Should i just reseal it anyways?
Im going to start the sanding and staining tommorrow and will have more pics up as i go.
