Default Second hand stand renewed

I recently bought a 30 gallon with stand off of Craigslist.
It was a mess. Scarred, warped, faded..
So I rolled up my sleeves for a week and made something out of it.
With some patience I took it from this




To this in about a week.




Still have a few things to do. I will be adding shelving this weekend. and I want to get some accents from a hobby store to detail the sides.

Great work! I hope that you found it for a good price, because that looks beyond beat up. Looking good though, I'm glad that people are recycling tanks/stands with each other rather than buying new ones each time at inflated prices (petsmart and petco)

Thanks. Ajax and phys
Yeah it was truly a wreck.
she gave me her 30 Gallon, stand, 3 pumps, an undergravel filter, 30 gallon marineland filter, two heaters, ornaments, all her bottles of food, ick treatment.. basically everything she had for $75

I threw the filter systems away, as they both had a 1/4 inch of calcium on them. The marineland filter wouldn't turn on anyway.
But heck, a 30 gallon and stand for $75..
Two gallons of vinegar and a $7 can of stain make it worth it.
