New project, project Dream Tank

[Factorybacking_05]

Alright, just picked this 130 gallon up for $75, it's going to be set up slowly, but it'll get there. This is the last tank i plan on purchasing for a long time, time to make my dream tank come true! :rock: Here are some pictures, tank needs to be cleaned up, but it'll be sitting in the garage for awhile until then.

Also, quick question. Sense it's going to be sitting in the garage for awhile, should i feel it with water and scrape off all the stuff in it, or should it be fine?

man you are going to need some elbow greece for that thing...

congrats on your dream tank though...

first i am at work and can't see the pics. but if is glass i would fill it up as if air get the the silcone(sp) it will dry out of crack.

 

[Factorybacking_05]

haha, so you recommend i just keep it filled in the garage? Maybe that'll help most of the stuff in it disintegrate off

Good luck and damn that thing is dirty

 

[Factorybacking_05]

Yeah, it doesn't smell to pretty either.

it should be that hard to make it look spanking new again. Its just coralline algae and dirt that easily comes off. i would make sure I clean it good before I store it in the garage. Good luck with the project. :top:

LOL... yeah.. if i saw a tank like that i would be like.. um.. you need to clean it before i take it.. lolSpit water

 

[Factorybacking_05]

Anyone have any suggestions on how to clean it? I was thinking fill it up with water, but what should i scrub it with? I don't want to scratch it or anything.

 

[nahtanoj]

its glass, so you shouldn't have too much trouble not scratching it. i'd fill it let it soak a while and the use a sponge/scrubby pad and go to town. just rinse the sponge a lot so you don't get rock, sand, or whatever on it. that will scratch the glass. otherwise, good luck!:hahaha:

 

[Onesaltydawg]

use white vinegar...its like a cleanser for removing this stuff

 

[Factorybacking_05]

Alright, well here's a sketch up for the plans i got. Nothing to detailed and i just learned how to use the program. The color of the stand and canopy isn't the color im going to actually be doing mine, but the program doesn't have many to choose from.
