I'm not sure if this project is going to be very much to the spirit of the APC, since the tank is going to contain brackish water. I will do experiments with plants, but remains to be seen whether I can grow anything in there.
Anyhow.
The tank is an old Aquastabil 530 l /140 gal tank that I used for a sump in a large brackish tank.
It is not the prettiest flower of the meadow, and I decided to replace the old scratchy front glass with a brand new glass. The end glasses are in between the long sides, so I had to take the ends off first. Taking it apart was easier than I imagined, cutting the silicone with very thin knives.
I finished the basic hardscape for this tank earlier, here's a couple of shots:
Fitting it in the tank, looks promising:
I ordered the new glass and decided to paint the rear glass, stand and frames of the tank while I wait for it to be delivered. Very easy to paint while most of the glasses are off...
Will continue with the journal as soon as there's progress.
Thanks for looking.
