80GAL Tank Build

[ItsFishMoney]

Well I am going to attempt the reseal tomorrow! This will be my first time so fingers crossed. Going to hit it with razor blade and acetone one more time for good measure. Pictures and video will be recorded and hopefully can get it edited and uploaded to youtube in a few day. Will post pictures here afterwords!

Also quick question guys. I believe I will be better off using 2 separate heaters at either end of the tank with wattage to handle the output and temperature. Am I correct in this assumption and what would you recommened? I know Jager is preferred as top of the line. I’ve heard of aquatop also as being a decent heater. Honestly I wouldn’t mind getting a few heaters from my local aquarium store as long as they will be efficient and help out my local small business

In the middle of my reseal when I step outside and this was on my porch

UPDATE:
I ended up getting another 29 that I resealed in the meantime and that came out great.
The 80 has been sealed and is cured. Sadly it is too cold here in NY for me to water test it in my basement. I will post pictures soon

I layed these on thick because I’m worried about the weight. They look great from the outside though. Wood and rocks are for a quick mock up of what’s to come. Still have to paint the old wood trim surrounds

Here is the 29 I just resealed. Also have to repaint the bottom plastic. I love this tank because the bottom is not tempered glass so I can always drill in the future. Great $15 score

Excellent sealant choice

Looks good since you have the paint out.. might as well paint the background too.

I definitely wanted black for the 80. I find it a much cleaner look personally

I most likely will paint the 80 because I’m going with black anyway

Looking forward to seeing your tank finished.
