Ahooi.......

So I was SUPER LUCKY to recieve a RSM REEFER 170 for free about 2 months ago from this clown called @Claundyke Think he fell in his HEAD pretty hard. Thank anyway BUD.

Its been just standing there since then, but i pulled up my socks & started restoring / slight fixing it....

Few issued that needed fixing. TO DO LIST

Glass scratched
Front door re-wrap
Plumbing redone (original pluming gone)
Find a light (My Pico Light will not be enough :m16:)

DONE LIST:

Glass scratched: I got a company out from Germiston to buff all the scratched out (today actually), they came all the way to the Vaal & sorted me out.
Light: I was lucky to pick up a Radion XR15W Pro G3 for a great price & could not leave it. With that being said & see-ing the result with my own eye in @Christo 's tank, i decided to get a hybrid system & ordered myself a Aquatic Life Hybrid 24" T5 Light. This was ordered today from Ebay & is expexted to land month end.
Skimmer: Got a Curve 5 with the tank. Thanks again @Claundyke
Doser: Ordered a JEBAO 3.4 WIFI Doser off ebay as well & waiting for that. (want to try automated WC)
.......................................................................................................

I got a NICE piece of rock as well with the tank & will be trying to do a floating reef bare bottom reef. Gonna do the same as what @Claundyke tried, just better. hahahahah

LEAVE THAT FRONT DOOR AS IS....

Only kidding. you can re-wrap it. :m20:
 
Okay Unfortunately the TANK polish did not go as good as planned, they struggled to get into the corner & get the scratches out there. Im gonna strip the tank & send it back to the.. Guess its good, so now we can get some new silicone in there & happy with its integrity.

Told you but no, Vleis always knows best.
 
Lekke bud. This tank is gonna be awesome! You have some nice hardware to go with it already. Pitty that Doser is on route to my setup though. Would have looked super with that tank of yours! :tt2:
 
So stripping it down & getting the 3 front panels polish, since they struggled to polish it nicely in the corners.

Will strip the rest down the weekend & clean, then the notorious RR tank builder @RealReefer will help me put it together again with meticulous & immaculate seams.
