After enjoying the country life it was time to work double time on our recently purchased used aquarium. We completely disassembled the tank and had the manufacturer reseal it. After a couple of dozen razor blades (for removing silicone from the glass), countless trips to Lowes and Home Depot, gallons of paint stripper, hours of sanding, stain, paint, and many sweaty manual labor hours later I think the finish product is slowly revealing itself. I stained the stand so I could give it a distressed look after painting. WHY don't we just buy a new one, you ask? Well, a new 150 gallon aquarium and stand will cost you about $3,000.00, we bought this one for $150.00. Ethan and Rachel had to build something too so Grandpa came up with birdhouses. I think they lasted long enough in the hot garage to cut them out, maybe we'll paint them next time.
