Found a really cool tank today

[Garter_Gertie]

Sid/Dekay, the metal on my tank is not the best and in some places a little rusted(?) and rough. Is there something I can use to spif up the metal and make it more attractive?

Quoted:"Today we had given to us absolutely free....a 55 gallon, (with large female red Oscar) 2 10 gallons (miscl. goldfish) a 2 gallon hex (complete with Beta)..."

Wha??? A free 55 gal? I just bought one (had to buy it outright, Tampa has a shortage of cheap/free tanks because we just had a snake expo and are having another on in 2 weeks) and I KNOW what they cost. Not only that, when my Colombian RTB graduates up from this one in a year or two I may be living outside myself -- this tank is huge.

There is a number of polishing products, the auto parts section of a store may carry a chrome restoration kit.

If the rust is deep, and rotting the frame apart, an epoxy like JB weld may be used to fill in the gaps, then sanded to conform.

Rust oleulm spray paint comes in chrome as well, duct tape the glass just the same as you would a car.

Hope that helps...

Masking tape will be easier to remove after the paint job than duct

That's what I meant, Thanks Tam for pointing out my brain fart.

Another cool freebie today. This is a 10 gallon with a bow front

Going to set it up for the baby Dekayi snakes... The 20 long I have them in is overkill, and my Snow Eastern is getting bigger by the minute, so I need to get her out of the Radix tank and on her own.. Works out great

I bet your babies would say "tanks" if they could. Looks like you're spoiling them Wayne. Keep up the good work. It just intensifies the addiction!

damn good deal ont hat 10 gallon bow front, i was just at the local shop and seen the exact same thing for $45

[infernalis]

The "deal" was even better, it had a "whisper" filter, new cartridges, 2 new bulbs for the light hood, a new bottle of fish food, plants, gravel, 2 nets and a gravel cleaning tool. (3 fish)

I gave our daughter the rest of the stuff for her tank in her bedroom.

Silly girl put the fish in with her albino frogs, then she came out of her room screaming....

The frogs ate my new fishie!

She got the other 2 out in time and moved them to her other tank that has no frogs in it.
