dang you didnt coat the stand yet?

you going to have to take that tank off again

 

[turbonut]

No i coated the top of it hence all the black dust in my floor under tank. And since no water will be under tank im just gonna shoot clear coat over the bare metal. Kinda like the industial look

 

[lowbudget]

you going to regret it. watch.

 

[turbonut]

How so?

 

[lowbudget]

you will see the rust

 

[turbonut]

Not if you clear the clean bare metal

 

[lowbudget]

eventually and the clear coat is easy to scratch and you will get the rust look. unless you plan on changing tank in a few years coat the stand.

Im debating it still. I like the bare metal look. But if i build a bar around it then i will skin it.

So it's been a couple months since I updated this thread been busy with work, life and now that my lady is prego busy with that but I am slowly piecing a few choice parts together tank should be wet in the next month hopefully. Any how picked up one Carson bin sofar if room permits I'll get another one. Also just picked up this beast
An etss 2500 dual down draft skimmer


I do need to fix skimmer cup but no biggie

And yes it's a huge skimmer that pulls massive amounts of junk.

The pic doesn't do this skimmer justice. The tank stand is 42 inches and the tank is 24.
