Cracked my 75 gallon tank during transportation, so I decided to upgrade to a 100 gallon. Its an older tank, so the glass is thicker, making this tank very heavy. Also it was a salt water tank so it was very dirty and encrusted.
The stand was also in pretty bad shape. Added a plywood floor, a couple of coats of paint, and chrome hinges and handles.
Prepped the tank the same as the 75 gallon: Cleaned with a plastic scrapper and muriatic acid. Drilled holes for plumbing and installed glass divider.
Sucessfully passed the water test.
Then tested pump flow rate versus drain rate. The drain is plenty big enough to keep up with the pump, a Mini-jet 606.
