SO I'll start with my construction pics from my 75 gallon and move up from there...
this was the tank as it pulled into my driveway from the previous owner. The tank had been dry for 2+ years. I traded my fully functional RSM 130D with LED upgrade for this...it was a gamble...but I figured what the heck...
then the reconstruction began...we (and I mean my lovely GF) repainted the stand and hood...
then I set it up dry, water tested the seams, and prepared to re-plumb the sump...
