i know during the last few months i have made a bad image for myself of going through tanks so fast. i had no patience, still i do not know how much patience i have, but im learning to deal with it slowly. sorry if it has offended anyone or bothered anyone. anywayyy, here is a new start for me, i figure if i went witht he biggest tank i can afford, it would be more difficult to get rid of then a nano i purchased a 240 gallon cube (4*4*2) great dimensions for me, i have almost always managed to keep a cube, now its huge. i got it home yesterday and immediately started trying to bring it back to life, it has alot of scratches, not bad more like scrapes. but i plan to rid of them, or as many as i can, i began to remove the old aquarium background that was on the back pane, woo man, it was tough. i just finished removing it this afternoon. then i got to poloshing and trying to remove some scratches. it went well. but not exactly there yet, im gonna need some pro help here! ill purchase a new kit see if i can get it done, it did bring some life to the tank though. its now sort of shiny the only hard part to clean up is i guess where the sand was, it aged the acrylic? tough to replenish. anyway, next step aside from getting back to tip top shape, is to drill new holes on the bottom pane, and plug some from the back pane for the close loop. then build the stand, i hope it to be furniture grade stuff. and canopy of course. welll let me show you guys some pictures let me know what you think.

THESE ARE SOME PICS FROM THE DAY I GO TTHE TANK HOME.

AND THESE ARE FROM TODAY, GOT THE BACKING OFF, AND CLEANED IT UP A BIT.
