New floor and paint up working on the trim and baseboard but here is how she sits

 

[EW_Fish]

Still working on crown molding and finishing the baseboard and door trims but other then that heres what we are dealing with at the moment. & addition to all of this I noticed a very very small drip from the bottom brace when I leak tested the tank. Which I was almost 100% sure it had a leak somewhere because it was just to cheap which is no biggie at all.

So tank is underway the silicone cure 48hrs then leak test again. Sump baffles cut for the 30b sump

Tank is ready to be moved inside but can't get a day off work. That is the only thing that sucks about working production 12hr shifts and summer time. Vacation = Overtime and lots of it. Doing mini projects While waiting to get the tank inside and filled up.

I know what you mean. Sucks when you've got everything there but no time to do anything.

I have been messing around with mini projects resealing other peoples tank because I can do it quickly now haha (Yes it looks like silicone in the prep area but its not.)

Dang very nice helping people out. I got the tank at a small price yesterday. Had a tire blow out on I4 in Orlando so that kept me busy for 90mins. Lucky the guy was cool about it and broke down the tank without me and got it ready so all I had to do was load it up.

 

[EW_Fish]

Holy cow that is a blow out. Thats good you will find in this hobby there is good people then there are people that will stick it to you. Pretty much like everything else haha. Glad he helped you out

Tank is its final resting place

Thanks a lot. I know the tank is around 8-9 years old? I think I am the third owner. 2nd guy had it 5 years. It was sold as it didn't leak but I kind of guessed it leaked from the price of $175 for a 3 side starfire tank with only 3 scratches. I put about 30 bucks into the tank and stand so win win for me after the reseal.
