Things have progressed well so far, with only draw back so far, I will explain that later. First I wanted to paint the back black. But I had to mask the rest of the tank first.

Once that was done I had to spray the tank. IO used Rustoleum Enamal in flat back. I cleaned the tank with MEK before painting.
I am pretty happy with the way that it came out. There is a sheen through the glass but it is not glossy.

Then I just put the rock and water in it, I did not do any aquascaping because I need another 60 Lbs of LR Witch I am going to doy in a couple weeks (christmas present).

I have not plumbed the sump in yet, because There was a miscomunication on the delivery date of the pump, That means they told me Friday and forgot to comunicate to me that it got pushed back to Dec 22. Oh well not much I can do about it but wait. I have 3 Maxi-Jet 1200 in there along with a 350 gph Pump to keep the water moving. I have put Temp Skimmer on there to start to clean the water.

This has nothing to do with this tank but it is the first one that I have had so I am sharing it with you guys. In the month that I have had it, the mushrooms have overgrown the rock that they are on.

More to come.
