    Default My old 75g frag tank is back in business...

    I've been cleaning my old 75g frag tank up for a friend. I painted it last weekend and today I foamed it and put in the finishing touches. I added lots of frag mounting holes too.

    Check it out...

    My son was a big help today...we were both dripping with sweat....

    Looks nice, I guess you like foam huh.... Must have been cool, with it being a father/son project.

    Good job as always Rob, so this will be your holding tank for the move?
    Reefing is just like cooking, all the ingredients have to be just right , except you don't have to bring the water to a BOIL...

    Thanks, yeah, I'm a big fan of the foam...makes mounting coral so much easier. Especially pressing plugs into the foam.

    Thanks, Giau. No, this tank is going to a friend. His name is Harish. I'm still working on my new tank, will be purchasing it in a month, it will probably be a 90g.
