This 115 Tall, had a cracked bottom, I have repaired the bottom, and painted the back.. As soon as the new seal on the inside is dry I will be ready to fill. I thought I would keep you all updated!

Before




After





I can't wait. All of my Africans will occupy this space in a few days... Their colors will REALLY stand out against this Black Paint!

Ow!!!!!!!!
I'm impressed ,Nickisue!
You make it look so easy.
Now did you have to take the whole tank apart or did you only change the bottom with the sides in place?
And how???
I love your reflection in the last pic. looks like your meditating!lol

Thanks Noddy, By that time I was wishing I was meditating... LMAO

Anyway, we did NOT remove the broken bottom, we just covered the bottom with silicone and placed another piece of glass on top.. So essentially this tank has a double bottom, that measures almost 1 Inch thick. Then we just resealed the bottom joints.

I didn't want to have to cut the tank apart!

Moving day will probably be Friday! I could do it Tomorrow, but I can't lift this damn thing, so I will have to wait for my Daddy to help Hubby! LOL
