Default ALBERTA REEF Sprang a leak.

My POS SPS 90 Gallon sprang a small pin hole leak some where. Most likely sealing seem. Dry around the bulb heads. I know it was POS when I bought it. Helping a friend. I will enjoy busting this tank apart later.

I do not have the funs or time to get my 280 gallon going at this time.

I have my decommissioned 90 gallon Old Faithful. She seen some better day going to need a reseal. I figure if I am going that far I might as well punch 2 more 1" holes. Make it Herbie still and return in the over flow. Plans is to recommission her.

The help I need is to build a new stand to fit my supper sump. I have the materials to build it but not the space or tools to do so. I need to make some really straight cuts. the only skill in a skill saw is keeping your fingers . If I had the space and tools it would be almost done buy now . So I am looking for someone to help build with wood working tools. Mitre saw, table saw, Brad nailer stuff like that.

Also need help cutting 3/8 glass for the over flow.

Tonight job is to remove the old over flow and silicone.

You think Murphy is a jerk. Have you met his wife. No worries Old Faithful and I have a date with a bottle Jager and 7 up. When I am done she is going to be a brand new tank.
