Guys i have a question i tryed to remove a few scratches on the inside of the tank 1st with toothpaste and then with compound it made it look alot better. My question should i wipe down the inside with pure ammonia and then a water wipe down just to make sure its all good.

Glass for baffles coming wed.
Order I placed is coming thursday so i can do my sump on wed. Plumbing on thursday n hopefully have sand and start creating some aquascape in the tank.

Still waiting on lights... Hopefully they r comin soon

Wow your tank is coming along great! I have the same tank but not rimless. I painted the rim with high gloss epoxy in white and it looks much better than the black, not as nice as rimless but a huge improvement. I am going to sell the tank soon though to upgrade to a 150 gal.

I love the dark stain on your stand. Was it hard to get the color even?

 

[Tonyscoots84]

Thanks i decided to paint it i did not like the waterbase stain and could not use oil base in my house.
