Before/After Tank Restore Pics

[JK47]

My son and I restored this tank this week. I’m super proud of him for putting in the hard work on the acrylic to get it mint!

The force is strong with this one He’s getting really good.






48”x24”x16” frag tank. Detail pics below

The acrylic is badly scratched and cloudy. Before:

Plumbing:




It’s a low budget clean 80 gallon so we restored whatever we could and but replaced all bulkhead fittings.

Hours of white swirls.

Filtration is clean and plumbing evenly spaced etc... Drilled a hole for 1” bulkhead and low profile strainer for an inlet to the FX5.



The lines are staggered at 10” apart full of water weight. That’s so it is a straight shot to the proper in/out position of the filters. No rats nest of hoses/wires, just two vertical black lines.



That was a fun project. Off to its new home
