Don't you have anything positive to say? Sheesh. Seems like the only thing you do is criticize. Give the guy a break, he's at least doing something and sharing what he's doing. How do you know it's an ammonia problem? Have you tested the water? Maybe something got stirred up. Ever think of that?
 
true, I would help him but... I'm a little busy... sorry I was a meanie head
 
Time for more pics, I've applied one coat of stain. I think it looks really good!!!
I'll give it a couple of hours to dry and then decide if I'll add another coat.

Looks good to me. Get some waterproof clear and coat it or you might even get some clear epoxy and use that. You still se the wood grain and yet it should be waterproof. BTW, isn't it kind of early for rum and coke? :D
 
LOL, Jack and Coke for me......Thats my wifes morning soda.

I'm not sure of the protective finish that I'll use,maybe a varnish.




Btw: It is Labor Day......I'm off to the LBS(Local Beer Store)
 
Pick me up a 6 pack of MGD while you're there. I'm still thinking about doing the LEDs for my Salt tank. It's just the standard 55 with a 4' tube. Varnish might give off some bad fumes. But then there are water based products out there too.

Looks great!

I still have to add some interior supports so that it sits at the right height. Then some staining and paint.

This is a pics as the tank is now. I'm still battling a cloudy water issue, but it is getting better.

one quick question, do you have a filter? just wondering because tank looks like theres no filter
 
The lites work great, they've been sitting there staring at me for days though. With my setup all I have to do is plug it in. I just need to get the "hood" done. Today I'm going to do some painting and final finishing.
 
Photos man!! :) What lights would you use for a moon light configuration?
