    New 120 gal interim shark tank project

    in Tank Threads

    Posted · Edited by Sharklover

    So just getting to work on this build. I've been working so much I hadn't put much time into my lady's tank. The free time I did have I worked on the stand for our 60 cube. That said I started this one today. Goal: remove the side broken glass, buff out all scratches to the tank and repraint the stand. As I began cutting out the side panel I saw a chip in the end of the back panel that I hadn't noticed before. Of course as my blade ran down the seam and got to it a crack shot several inches across that back panel. Blah. So much for that. Costs enough to replace one panel but two... My lady was on Craigslist within two minutes looking for new tanks. I remembered that Aaron out in Wilsonville said he had something in his back room on one of my visits. Called out. Sure enough he had a 72x24x24 180g acrylic in his back room. He told me it was very scratched up so he cut me a good deal. Awesome. The lady is extra happy. 

     

    Tomorrow's project: buff out the new tank and begin it's build.

    Open House at Holly's - $10 frags

    Holly was an amazing host yesterday. Let me hang out to ogle everything while people came and went (and eat the cookies). I tried to limit my spending since my frag tanks are pretty much full. Took a specific amount of cash even. Then... As soon as I walk in the door there was a sticker saying she takes card. Darn it. Several great pieces brought home including a foot wide bird's nest. Thank you Holly!

    I think it's just fine. Let them know you aren't ready yet. Most will give you the tour and answer any questions you have. I stop in to the one by my place a couple times a week. Often I don't buy anything. But I know them and they know me now. I know which employees I trust to ask questions. Getting to know the staff there will help you when you are ready. This is such a delicate hobby that you need to know that you can trust and get accurate information from the people you are buying from.

    Hahahahaha. That is about the funniest (and truest) thing I've read in a long time. I'll probably still be laughing at it tomorrow. Unless my tank crashes... Then I'll be cuddling my cat and crying while remembering your post.
