resealin 45 gallon corner tank

[Chileno]

Nice!!!! I've been wanting a bigger tank, I've been looking on craiglist but nothing close to where i live.

I have that same tank foxy! Coincidentally the guy who gave me the tank had saltwater in it before me also.

The only thing I can offer for scaping is to, sort of, forget about the corner. Try to invision it as a flat side as opposed to the corner.
I have plants that for a wall of sorts and one of my filter intakes is hidden back in the corner. Made it much easier to scape this way.

Well I finished scrapin yesterday tonight I'm goin to clean it up again and hopefully tonight or tommrrow start the silicone process wish me luck lol

 

[Chileno]

Good luck

Well I resealed the tank and it started leakin again so I had to redo it hopefully it holds this time lol

 

[Chileno]

I finished mine i filled it up and no leak but one of the corners wasn't looking right so I took it apart and re did it again, pain in the .... I know but I had to do it right

I used rocks I found by the beach for my tank! Just clean them really good..you could also try a garden store..or Lowes for river pebbles or ROcks..

Thanks! Ill look into it that sounds like the perfect tging for my tank

I scrubbed them, them bleached them for 24hrs in a large trash can..afterwards I set them in the sun for like 3-4 days. Then let them sit in the trashcan with freshwater and a whole bottle of dechlorinater for 2 days then put them in!
I've had them in for over a year and a half no problems! Also just did the same for 2 rocks in my saltwater tank and no problems there either..

 

[foxysaving]

Awesome ill givve it a shot this could be a lot of fun lol

 

[Evo8]

Be careful with the bleach! I can't stress enough to make sure they are thoroughly dechlorinates..if there smooth river rocks you can just scrub them in the sink and go..but if there pourous like Myne i would bleach them

 

[foxysaving]

Ok thanks for the advice I think ill find some river rocks ik I was orginally thinkin of gravel but adter checkin out some rock and pebble aquariums I think that's the way to go

 

[Evo8]

Yeah pebbles you can just wash regularly. No bleach
