Spi Restart of an old tank

[SaltySpivia]

Hi, I'm back again, previous nick was Spivia if anyone remembered me I was crazy about drifting (dead and gone in Spore and Reefing) and unfortunately I am unable to use my previous Hotmail email, 

But we can never get out of this hobby 

The last time I quit due to my chiller breaking down on me and i had personal issues so i didn't even decom and just disappeared, 

And because of this Covid19 I just got so irritated with looking at my old empty tank, and decided what the heck 

So now I am restarting and redoing my old tank up, 6 yrs worth of watermarks to clean and polish with cerium oxide, it's really tough work having sustained 2 counts of stroke attack, life has been hard these past few years, but this time I am doing the tank in the low maintenance way

Finally cleaned and filled up with water, going to do a full cycling with zero fishes 

[SaltySpivia]

Slowly its transforming, finish cleaning up but i realise I did a mistake, wasted half a bucket of salt, sigh

 

[SaltySpivia]

Decided to flush out Display and keep looking for the right tool to target my watermarks and yes, i found IT, was even contemplating changing 1 side of the glass, problems solved

Previous look after days of cleaning 

[SaltySpivia]

Change the scraping to a normal tank with 2 sided view instead of 3 sided, the rear of the tank is for wave makers and it will be covered up 

[SaltySpivia]

Aquascape a rock with old epoxy that I have to fill up that gap 

[SaltySpivia]

Finally done with my scaping and 2 jebao gyre to handle my flow with minimal dead spot
