pdxmonkeyboy Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 This is my "tank" right now. Saving lots of money on salt and heat right now.But at least the aquascape is done. That paper backed acrylic is one side of the new tank. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk 4 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will that be part of your aquarium build? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuncrestReef Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 I turned on the lights at night for this shot, so all the fish are sleeping and some of the LPS corals are retracted. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to make an epoxy coffee table with it. It's at the bottom of the list right now though. :(Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash21 Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Brian have you heard about Odies Oil? Really good Sh$t! Hard to tell I have made many things and used the odies oil and love it!!! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdxmonkeyboy Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 I have not heard of it. Where do you get it at? I really like shellac because you can really custom tint it but the whole no resistance to alcohol is a problem:( So I mostly go to wipe on poly. I used this new "triple thick" water based poly on my new kitchen doors and drawer fronts. One coat, a little sanding and then a little touch up with wipe on.Shout out to mark for the cabinet hook up!!

Thanks again, turned out great Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk It does look great BTW. Would be curious to see a detail on that overflow reinforcement. That light is a perfect fit for this tank - love how the MH bulbs sit perfectly over the openings so should reduce the chances of heat/UV damage to the acrylic (don't ask me how I know).

That light is a perfect fit for this tank - love how the MH bulbs sit perfectly over the openings so should reduce the chances of heat/UV damage to the acrylic (don't ask me how I know).Brian welded a couple of strips of scrap acrylic on the inside of the empty overflow compartment and then welded in the square plug to those and then welded a full bead top and bottom, then I ran another of weldon 16 around it again when I got home for good measure. It's been leak tested and is solid. Those MH lights were definitely a perfect fit in the openings. I guess I should scrap the idea of putting a lid over them if they are just gonna warp. Thanks for the heads up. Cant wait to get some bulbs in there to see how it looks.Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
