Thanks to all who encouraged me not to give up after my tank leak disaster. So onto new better pastures.
Attached is a 90 gallon with overflow and a white maple style finished stand.

It's late here so pics are dark. The tank appears to be in perfect condition. The stand is in good condition with a little side to side flex.
That was repaired with a red oak frame inside on the back to beef up the oem frame it's all glued and screwed. Now the tank is nice and ridgid.

More to follow tomorrow. Need to clean my sand and buy more for later. Unfortunately no stores will be open tomorrow. For now my priority is to transfer everyone to a more permanent residence.

Glad to hear you aren't admitting defeat and throwing in the towel. Here's hoping you'll soon realize the fruits of your labor

You can have a couple of your live rocks with corals on them back - specifically:
- the long flat one with the waving hand zenia and gsp
- other smaller pieces, some with corals
The others are secured in the tank already. Let me know when you're ready for them.

I'm glad you're resetting!

wow, glad that you got the tank, is it everything that you thought it was.. how did you get it home so fast....
Luck my father in law was nice enough to drive me up in his van. It was more than large enough to fit. Luckily if I wouldve taken my vehicle it wouldn't of fit.

OK first update. I stayed up till 230 am cleaning, bracing stand, general plumbing. Seeing as I have everything from the old tank it all went together pretty well. Just making more Rodi to top it all up. More to come. [emoji1]
Keep in mind the tank water is very cloudy right now. But I definitely need more sand and larger LR pieces.

Adjusted some rock work now that it's clearing up. Now time to let nature take its course. Let's have bets on what kind of outbreaks I'm going to get now. Diatom, brown algae, Cyano.....
