  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
yeah i had that issue last year with someone selling a tank as a 200 gallon and it ended up being a 100it was okay cause i traded that 100 for my 240 :)
 
update: i got the bulk heads out and the inside silicon cleaned off...the tank had seperated in the top of one of the corners so i pulled one side completly, cleaned it all up and sealed it back in....resealed the inside of the entire tank..i still gotta put the overflow in and install new bulk heads and build a stand but its all coming along good...ill get some pics tomorrow of how it is now cause all these pics were from the first day i got it and just pulled the overflow and some silicon.

Looks like you've got a lot of work ahead of you. Still can't beat free though. Keep the updates comming sir. Oh and hope ur not a noles fan...:nilly:
 
well today i sealed in the overflow.....i already have the bulkheads and piping....sometime this week im gonna stop by homedepot and get the wood to build the framing for the stand..just gonna do a 2x4 frame and cover it with plywood and paint it black......if i get motivated enough i might build it with a counter/bar top attached to it or something, not real sure about that yet....gotta order heater and pump for it next week and some bio balls for the sumps.....all in all ill probably have less than 300 bucks in the entire thing.....already of light fixtures just need bulbs....ill take pics of the stand/canopy builds...gonna use the canopy from my 240g and cut it down to size and build a new one for the 240g....any suggestions on the stocking for this tank?
