75g craigslist rebuild

[goalieman59]

So the 90 fell throught so I got a 75g so same foot print just a little shorter with no overflow. But I got it home last night, and do not feel great about the seals so I will be starting a reseal tomorrow so I might be able to get it do by this weekend.

Start of the 75G

Here is the start of the 75 that i got off craigslist. Here is the start of the reseal and some shots of the tank. I also will be changing the stand and canopy to black. I will be installing a 48 t8 light in the canopy with one 6500k bulb and i was thinking a antic bulb. What do you guys think?

And Mods can someone change the title to 75g craigslist rebuild.

Dam it nice tape job man.. Do you mean actinic bulb if so yes go for it as i use them as well and make the fish pop in color not to mention my rockwork looks good under actinic lighting..
