Hey Everyone,

I could certainly use your opinion on this one! I just got a 225 Gallon Glasscages.com complete setup! The tank is MINT for viewing! There is not a scratch, on any of the 3 viewing walls. (Back is painted black)
However the tank does have a minor flaw. Look at the picture..The top brace has a crack due to improper lifting.


The Canopy, and Stand are done in a Cherry wood finish. It looks pretty good, but I want this tank to look AMAZING!

So here is the main POLL QUESTION!

I would definitely touch it up. Why put all that other labor in it when you probably make it look new again with the color it is.
 
Cherry is beautiful, I would just touch it up.
 
Thanks for voting!!
Project starts this wednesday, so I need an official answer in less than 48 hours!
 
Its greatlooking touch up and be in aww congrats on the tank.
 
Cherry is awesome, I would touch it up as well.. Black looks cheap if you already have a good starting point like that. I can say that cuz I have black tanks.. :grinno:

Thank you all, I think Ill stick with the stain. If I mess up the stain then I guess Black it is..Project starts today!
 
Last second change.. I opted for Red Mahogany.

Last photo is how I want the color to end up looking.
