After some time with the 40 breeder, I figure I need a taller tank. I bought this 65gal back in April when I decided to go in a different direction. It
s been sitting on the stand for 5 months, being that I like to hunt, fish, and get out of town every weekend in the summer. Now that the season is coming to an end I can get this project started. Now that winter is coming and the new school year has started, I can get this build going. The 65gal has been and still is empty, but I have done a little work on the stand and new filter. I took the 10lbs 1/3 full Co2 tank back to Airgas and was able to do a straight trade for a 5lbs filled. I also ditched the canister for a Aqueon Proflex Model 3. The stand has been cleaned and prepped for a water proof coat of ultra-white paint, along with water proof silicone lined around the filter floor area. I had to take the brace out to slide the AP3 into the stand, it was easy enough. There's just enough room for the Co2 to fit. Man this is a nice size tank!
