New 90 Gallon Tank Stand

[Matt S.]

synapse,

That sounds like a good idea, I'll see if I can dream up a design for another stand.

 

[Matt S.]

Just under two days invested into it so far Honda.

Thanks for the tank and filter setup. I'll be drilling holes in the back of the stand for the canister hoses to pass through.

It was good to meet you as well, I'll post finished pictures when I can get it done.

Looking forward to seeing the finished product, it should be really nice.

What should I clean that tank with? I am a rookie to tanks.

Most of that stuff should just come out with some water and a little scrubbing, but to make it easier you can use a vinager/water solution. 1/4 vinager, 3/4 water, should clean it fairly easy.

Sorry I didn't have the time to do it for you.

 

[Matt S.]

No apologies needed. I know what it's like to be too busy.

Thanks again.

I am a carpenter Aoscar, build houses for a living in Battle Creek MI about 45 min south east of you.

Now that the weather's changing I can get some of my shop projects done.

I'm a carpenter too. and I'm loving the weather too!

Rubbing alcohol also works.

how much does 5 coats of poly urathane cost?
how much drying time between coats?
I'm lucky if i get 2-3 coats on!

 

[Matt S.]

Koiguy,

It will probably take a gallon poly after all the coats are done. So probably under $25.00.
I put a coat on and wait 24 hrs for it to dry, then sand. I start off with 200 grit paper. And after each coat I use a higher grit paper. Usually stopping at 600 wet sanded.
