    Default 30 gal Shallow Reef Clean up Thanks Steve!

    here it is not bad for $20! Thanks again to Steve. I removed the old paint with some acetone, used 600 grit on the trim to get all the paint off as well. I will do my final sanding when everything is dry. I was going to try and remove the glass plug but I did not want to risk breaking it. I wanted to get the old silicone off because of the blue tint it had from fish meds

    ready for silicone GE 1 silicone tube home depot i think it was like 3 or 4 bucks you might use half of it

    silicone is on I added an extra beat around the edges


    and it is done..I put it out in the sun to dry 24-48 hrs


    next step decontaminate everything hehe I plan to soak it in vinigar for a couple hours flush it and flush it again..then leave water in it for about 2 days to see if I have any leaks then I will probably store it until I feel like building a stand one day hehe
    Going to change my screenname to ReefCube soon!
