my new 90 gallon

[jrsatx20]

old 90 gallon but new to me.

Ram (Onereef) built this tank about 3 years ago and when i saw it back then i told myself if it evers goes up for sale im geting it. Well it went up for sale and i scooped it up.

Tank has some scatches so out to the back yard with it and some sanding began. Wet sanded the 3 faces that will be viewable. The buffing will begin in the next couple of days.

Thanks for the great deal Ram.

Nice, I'm excited to see the sanded product!

[jrsatx20]

thats the hard part. would prob go better with a buffer instead of one on the end of a drill.

[jrsatx20]

the reason that i had to sand and buff was because of the parts on the bottom of the tank were stained from coraline algae. and it would come clean. even with a vinegar bath.

Geez, Reuben's back in the game. Time to hide your wife and kids.

[jrsatx20]

Ive been trying to come back for more that a yr now. My last tank sat in the living room for a long time. Never did any thing to it.

[jrsatx20]

half the tank buffed out. thank goodness it came clean.

What are your plans for corals?

[jrsatx20]

Yup as if nothing was in there. Oh wait there isn't anything in there.

Just got the light in yesterday and its gone. Uncle took it to build me a something to suspend it over the tank

Hopefully it will be ready for the tank tour

[jrsatx20]

idk. would like to try zoas. never had much luck with them.

a couple of chalices for sure

[OneReef]

Looking great Ruben! How is that fixture? Build quality?

[jrsatx20]

Thanks Ram. Its nice doesn't look like it's just slapped together.

[jrsatx20]
