When I was younger, I bred discus in my parents garage. I used three 50g tanks. They are 48x15x18 with 1/2" glass and rimless. I am thinking about using one for a planted tank, since no one seems to want to buy them. Also, my wife and I keep having unexpected bills so I have not been able to buy a tank. Free tank + endless wood from father-in-law + xp3 from old tank = cheap tank.
The main problem with these tanks is they are painted white on three sides and they have a fair amount of deposits and hard water stains. I never cared to clean them up since they were just for the garage. What would be the best way to clean them up? Also, they are drilled. There is a whole in the middle of each side. How could I fix this so it does not look terrible? Any suggestions would be great.
I am just playing with this idea by the way. If I cannot clean them well enough, I will not be using one of them. Also the wife might still say that it is too long for the space.
