110X Rehab

Ok I found this Aqueon 110X on CL for $40 with a stand so I jumped on it

It needs a reseal so i called Aqueon and they are going to send me the factory silicone free of charge to reseal it

Apparently any tank over 65 Gallons and built 2007 and later has a lifetime warranty

The gentleman I spoke to on the phone was very polite and offered the silicone to seal it just out of hand even though the tank was obviously built before 2007 as it has no center brace and never has

He also gave me the part# for the upper perimeter brace with a center brace

So Aqueon has impressed me and I will continue to purchase their products this is my 3rd aqueon tank

Now on to the tank these are the only pics I have of it right now





as you can see it was a sw tank but I will use it for fresh water

both taken in the dark with my cell phone camera

I will go pick the tank up from my daughters house this weekend as I couldn't squeeze it into the back seat of my car

Then i can get some better pics

The Plan is to clean it up and reseal it then remove the black paint someone used on the trim pieces and strip the black paint off of the stand

I plan on taking pics of all the steps and posting here

Dimensions are 48.5x18.5x32 outside

I love big cheap tanks!!!!!! good buy!!!!!

congrats

great find!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OH im a bit jealous, all the tanks here people are selling for over 400 dollars used. Great deal! Specially since it came with a stand!

and BTW the p/u is NOT the stand lol

What are you going to put into the 11o+g?

nice

very nice. i think it would be cool to have a pick up truck as a stand lol. is that an old chevy?

a 78 ford

a chevy stand would hav been better!! lol
nice come up though! u gpt a great deal on it!

Very nice pick up!!! Cheap/used tanks sometimes require lots of work, but that all the fun of it... Post some pics when Complete.

thats a hell of a deal and its cool that you got to reseal for free whats going in their

Great deal. I have bought some stuff off craigs list and gotten some great deals, mostly because people 'dont have time for it anymore' or 'its to much woork' and just wanna get rid of it.

thanx buddy!!!!

Ok here's the next installment

It took about 4 days for the silicone to arrive they sent me 1 large tube

which should be plenty to reset the whole tank

here's a pic of the leak test in progress



looking good so far however when it got about 3/4 of the way to full the front left (as pictured) seam blew out

so I will have to remove the front sheet of glass and reset it

however this is also where the girl I got it from said it was leaking so even though she is a horrible housekeeper she told the truth

I am going to just cut the whole tank apart and reseal it from the ground up because it has had several partial reseals over time I am also either going to build a center brace for it or buy a new top trim piece with a center brace

also on closer inspection of the stand the wood is salt water bleached so I will just repaint it black

So stay tuned for the next exciting installment

cant wait bro!!!!! RE-DO projects are the best!!!
