hey Paul! I just set up my 125 over the last 3 days. it's mostly water from barnegat bay. brackish so I had to add salt and lots of carbon to get it clean. was in a rush didn't wait for high tide and yeah it was pretty brown and cold!
few of my fish have come out to say hello!
I won't be removing the frame for my reseal.
I will cut out the corners with a very sharp razor making sure not to damage the silicone that actually hold the tank together. after that I will use alcohol and clean off all the old silicone off the glass with care not to destroy the seal I was...
so I'm unhappy with the stand. one of my joints wasn't perfect and I added shims under the plywood but I'm guessing the weight of the tank is going to crush the plywood in weak spots so I'm going to add some foam board even though it's a rimmed tank. I saw a decent piece at home Depot for like...
so what do you guys think? should I skin it with ply wood or something?
maybe some center braces?
it's 2x6 on top and rest of it is 2x4
for a 125 I'm going to reseal. not leaking just kind of ugly in a few spots
