Tank Journal 180 bowfront upgrade

[truperc]

I bought the tank used in August and because I plan on having the tank for a long time I wanted to be extra cautious, so I ended up taking the stand apart and rebuilding and reinforcing some of it, as there was a bit of water damage on the one side. I also decided that I would reseal it as I didn't want to have to drain it in five years because it started leaking. This was a lot more work than I had bargained for but gives me peace of mind and didn't cost a lot of money. This is a picture of the tank before it was taken down.


Here are some pictures of the stand taken apart and the tank silicone stripped out etc.





What I love about the stand is that the wood structure is all covered by a plastic covering that hides up all the rough plywood and imperfections

I finally moved the tank and stand into the living room over the Christmas break and started working on my lighting
