Keodog had one a few years back, but he eventually replaced it with a glass tank and I helped him move that heavy bugger with about 7 others. If I remember correctly, he began having some issues with it after some time, thus the replacement. Maybe he'll see this and jump in or somebody else that can remember the issue(s) he had and jump in
Mr Savage....I believe you were there as well. Any recollection? ------------- 90g mixed reef GOT CRABS? Sometimes I wonder "why is that frisbee getting bigger?"....and then it hits me |

I Still have it but this is what it looks like today. My recycled 300 gallon plywood tank is now a home for my two dogs.
The issues I had with it was the paint started cracking around the top bove the water level because of temp changes which allowed moisture to get into the wood causing more swelling.. The tank lasted almost 3 years before making the change.

Actually, I could barely keep him up long enough to take the picture. He can jump up on the dog house. ------------- Kevin Kunz (Sandy, UT) 300g reef "A trade by which one gains and the other loses is a fraud." Ayn Rand |
