With Christmas and wet weather, not much as been done. I did manage to score a central filtration system from a LFS that I will taylor to my need for this tank. The system pushed filtration for 1000 gallons so I think I might be a bit overfiltered but too much is never enough.
I did buy some polishing compound and buffing wheels. As soon as I can shuffle some other tanks around, I will get to work in the garage to get the sctratches removed.
