very nice ready to go bro let that stuff dry and "get er done"

No doubt. I want to rotate the tank so that the OFB is the back of the tank. I'm looking at it right now and I already know I will hate it if I don't LOL.

I'm high as a kite LOL. Yeah it sucks being inside the tank and applying the silicone. Makes me wanna gag especially when you take a deep breath when you in there talking about dazed lol.

LOL I'm good with drilling any more holes in this tank. I just got done repairing a crack between 2 holes.

I got my tank rotated today thanks to some great people. Thanks everyone!!! Here is some pics of what I just got done with.

It went from this.....

30 minutes later this....

It's amazing how easy it is to do a job when you have the right tool. I thought scraping this paint off the glass was going to take at least a few hrs.

Looking great Sarang! That's part of the beauty of glass, a razor blade and/or of chemical strip and you are all set on removing paint. keep the pics coming and much good luck your way.

 

[roscoe]

Thanks Reed. I am now again more excited than ever to get see this thing running!

 

[nwinverts]

Great start Sarang, some polishing and you'll be good to go...

Next time I come over, I want to look at your tank... Not pick it up!

 

[tri_pod_rod]

yea thats awesome love to see a brand new tank come to life a lil at a time but as mark said i can go without picking it up that beast is heavy

 

[Adam Black]

There's no water in this thing yet

 

[roscoe]

Thanks for all the comment guys! Well I was to excited to sleep last night. I ended up staying up well pass 2am last night working on the tank. I spray painted glass where the OFB is and spraypainted all my Tunze PH black and buffed out the tank as best as I can. Here are some boring pics for evryone to see.

 

[Myteemouse]

I see London I see France I see Sarangs ender pants LOL
Nice paint work brother....
When the plumbing gonna get done??

 

[Darthv247]

is it a great idea to paint powerheads ? would think puting spray paint in the tank would be a bit risky.

LOL you noticed that huh... you are suppose to be looking at the tank. At least I had undies on this time LOL. I knew I was unsure about you. I hope Crystal knows about your fetish:badgrin::badgrin:. Well as far as the plumbing goes I will try to get it done sometime this coming week or weekend. I'm going to fill the tank with about 2-3'' of water today to test for leaks. Keeping my fingers crossed. I don't think there will be any leaks with 3 seals the water have to pass through before leaking out.

 

[Crystalclear125]

Thank god you did have undies on. lol who wouldn't noticed
anyways looking good. Not you the Tank
