New 300 Gallon Tank, cosmetic damages... your thoughts please!
- Thread starter landmineyouth
- Start date
Price was $600, includes stand, canopy, 2 coralife lights, an old 1500gph pump, random accesories. For the glass and free delivery alone I figured it was a good deal.
Good question. I may just add 2 or 3 addequate heaters, incase one ever goes out the others will still remain operational.
Okay guys here is an update! Had the tank delivered into my garage today, and snapped some more shots of it. Upon further inspection, I do NOT think that bracing will be an issue, as the thing has 4 braces across the top. Ive included pics for you all to take a look yourselves. The tank was definitely a home made project wherever it was first created, because the silicone is non-cosmetically pleasing, however the stand and canopy hide all of that. That aside, the seals look solid, and just needs a good cleaning IMO. I will fill with water and test for leaks soon.

Tomorrow me and my carpenter buddy get started on plans for the stand and cannopy. We will more than likely be building an entirely new one from the scratch, but if we can salvage some of the old one, we will.

yes,your bracing is ok,silicone leaves alot to be desired,but good luck with the test fill hope all goes well
Yes the silicone is very ugly, but the canopy will hide the top of the tank so no issue there, as far as around the tanks boarders and brace points, I am sure once scrubbed, cleaned, repainted/backgrounded, they won't be noticed.
There sure aren't as many people posting about how they think my trimless tank will explode anymore 
Well, it looks like a custom/DIY made stand, so it's not made for trim.. so it's kinda the chance you take.
