Fish's new tank project

[Fish]

If there's one thing I learned during my time away, it is that metal is pretty. Partly for that reason, and partly because I don't have anything else to do, I stripped my Iwaki:



I could have polished it up brighter than chrome but I used up all my 1000 grit sandpaper on my exhaust pipes.

Modification Pros,
- kept me from pacing for a couple hours
- looks like it means business - way better than 'Iwaki teal'
- a 'first' ?

Cons,
- probably killed any resale value it had
- uh, did I just remove all the rust protectant finish on my saltwater pump ( :
- having to explain why

This one isn't going to be locked in the cabinet, but will sit beside the tank on the stand. Because of that (and some mother's polish) I am confident that I can keep it from rusting up on me.
