Metaframe tank arrived!

It is a true nano. I think this will be my smallest, at 2.5 gallons.
Leak testing

Trying to get this lamp for it..

Cool. I love those tanks. Can you post pics as you move forward with the project?

[waterfaller1]

Yes, if all falls into place it should be soon. Thanks. I almost feel like I should have gone with the 5 gallon ones, but I like it.

Love these vintage tanks! Is it true that there's no way to repair leaks?

[waterfaller1]

Of course you can repair leaks. You just re-silicone it.

So who's the go to guy for a nice small cool piece of wood?

Those kinds of tanks are antiques?????? I had one, but one of my family members thought that it was worthless so they threw it away way long before I even joined this forum.

Ahh ..use to work with an old timer and he swore that you couldn't repair leaks on those framed tanks.

These were the tanks of the 50's...60's. When I was a little girl, this was all there was for awhile. I am sure I had several too.

Hmm..well it's holding water, so we won't even worry about it unless that bridge needs to be crossed. I really don't see why not, but maybe he knows something I don't.

I have a few pieces of driftwood that i don't really need. PM if you'd like to see some pictures of them!
