The insanity has begun... My 345 SA/CA Build thread

[PufferCorps]

I'm going to dig through my files for the pics of the monstrosity I dragged home to fix up. It was one of those old PetCo plant tanks, sorta like yours with the waterfall and 2 tiers. It woulda been bad ass too, cept it was stored in a guys damp basement for years, and a corner was separated about 3", and it vibrated like crazy in the back of my friends truck for 60 miles which didnt help it any. My carpentry skills were pretty sketchy (still are) so I took it apart and it ended up as super heavy duty tank covers. I still want to rebuild it, just no place to put it. YOURS RULES!

Thank you for the compliment! If it works as tank covers then I guess its doing its job, however if you ever plan to rebuild it, please be sure to share.

I found with tanks it's really more about time and patience then it is about skills; don't get me wrong, skills definitely help but time, patience and a place to work are the key! Good luck to you if you ever move forward with the build!
