55g is 208 litres. 550 litres is 148g.


As all of that wood going in there? Looks good!!
lol no not all the wood. The wood is being split between Inka4040 and I. And then im further splitting it with a buddy of mine who also just setup a planted tank.


Thanks for the support Neon and Rich!! :headbang2::headbang2:

What's the date on that tank? I'm sure you've checked the silicone but if it's original and over 15 years old I'd think about redoing it. I've thrown away a 12 year old 20 gallon tank with a cracked frame just because I didn't want to bother with resealing it and getting a new frame. Yours is different though. Size matters when it comes to resealing a tank. The bigger the tank the more worthwhile it is.

Psyched about yer new tank. I know it'll be cool.

Thanks everyone. I am 2 psyched about getting this monster up and running.

Que I tried checking the bottom of the tank for a date.. it has some tiny paper below it saying something like "distributed by _____" but i dont think it has a date.. Ill look again.
The seller told me the tank is 3-4 yrs old.
When i was cleaning the tank I was actually testing for leaks as well and from looks of it there werent any. But either way once the new frame is on ill be retesting once again.
