75 Gallon Planted Tank Build

[Jay-C]

I am going to start a thread for my planted tank build. I have broken down my tank from my freddies and figured I would show the progress from start to finish for anyone interested. This would also help me get suggestions from all of you since this will be a slow build. I will upload pics this weekend of what all has been done, which hasn't been much. Things should start moving along smoothly now though.

Just a couple of photos

My tank right after I drained it to start this build and then a few photos of the background I am making. I will be applying the epoxy coating tomorrow and then I will be able to keep moving on with the set up.
