90 gallon upgrade build

[Tango]

I have a 75 gallon rr tank with a fluid designers sump. I picked up a stand from another memeber that i think was to a 90 gallon. I was gonna just paint stand and put my 75 on it. But yesterday a saw a 90 gallon rr tank on cl for 100 but i asked guy if he would trade. So i traded him a hammer and acan for the tank.

Today we started sanding the stand. I am gonna paint it black and i want to paint the inside with something just dont know what yet. Also need to replace the broken hinges. Gonna clean tank this weekend also.

 

[Dr.DiSilicate]

Do the inside white. I'd spray the whole thing with the black and get some exterior grade white and brush a couple coats. Nice and clean and bright while working in the sump.

 

[Tango]

Yeah thats a good idea i was thinking of doing the deckover paint they sell now maybe more durable?

 

[Tango]

I need to get a better return pump since i am going bigger

 

[Dr.DiSilicate]

What return are you using? I can not imagine needing much more with a 90 than a 75... I'd probably keep what you have.

 

[Tango]

I think its the mag 7 it does 750 gph

Keep that.

When I was younger I worked maintenance in a mobile home park. If you are going to put a large tank in a trailer home you may want to add some additional support in the crawl space. I've seen people pull it off without, but I have also seen it go terribly wrong!

Yeah i have thought about it my 75 has been level without any issues i set it up to be across the beams. Also the insulation is still intact under my house
