Re-building the 180

[nero6370]

Well I finally got around to fixing up the 180 after my pacus broke out the front glass. originally thought about just recoating and resealing, but decided to go for broke and disassemble the whole thing and do it right...I am going to replace the back panel, as the epoxy pulled some layers off the plywood. Oh well, no biggie. I have some oak 3/4 back in the shed somewhere...When I am done it will be solely used for feeders; I need to start buying them by the box. At least til I wean the pbass and ck off live, which in all honesty may not happen.

Pacus were fine; initially there was a couple of hairline cracks and the subsequent slow leak. Thankfully the wife insisted the tank remain outside otherwise there would have been quite a mess. The 700 was almost ready for them; they spent a few days in the indoor 150. They were not happy campers. But once in the 700 they were fine.
