Graveyard 100g build

reefbroao · 03/22/2016, 02:10 PM

I just got this tank for a war coral that was bleaching under my t5 and its in tough shape but I'm determined to bring it back from the grave.

100g 61"x19"x18.5 Really awesome dimensions

Problem is the seal looks pretty bad. either they re-sealed it while it wasn't dry or they just did a bad job.

I want to Re-seal this guy on all seams with black silicone. (bought 2 tubes from BRS)

Whats an overflow idea, I have one but its tiny and I really dont know how I would plumb it.

The guy added some weird angle iron which I will be removing because it serves no purpose.

The crack is the acrylic sheet between the stand and tank, no worries there.

The tiny overflow. 18" long but very thin, how would I plumb this.

I think you'll find that piece is one of 2 parts. The other being a larger overflow box that sits on the outside of the tank and houses all the plumbing. The piece your holding is only for the inside and designed strictly for surface skimming.

That's what I though. I think I will go with a ghost overflow. Picked that up for $30 from a guy locally so It was cheap.

Forgot to mention, my 80g got ich so now that I have to qt this is a great time for me to get this done in 3 months and transfer my 80 into it.

Another problem I notices is that the stand has a 51"x10" room for a sump. that's pretty awkward.
