So i got the go ahead to start up a tank at work and since i already have a 10gl fresh water tank... i had to keep it small... one of my co-workers actually had a tank and he brought it to me... my boss brought me some sand from his tank.... so here starts the journal of "THE TOOL CRIB TANK" lol

going to be a long work in progress. too the stand apart, stripped the inside as it was all rotten, sanded it down and re-sealed it. put the stand back together, put a new hinge on the lid... got the sand into the tank... water will come later today! no lights or rock for this tank yet... that will be a week or two until i can find something cheap!!

Tool crib?

If in a shop type tool crib make sure the top seals well.

I used to work in a tool crib up in Fort Mcmurray and I loved it!

I never had a reef tank in mine though of course.

At least in there you should have all the tools you need for the build.

I think you need some big tangs like sailfins etc. atleast 8 in a tank that size would be ok............ :wink:
