Started on converting my 72g bow front cichlid tank into salt for my spare room I'm converting into a man cave for my boys and I. I ended up just getting a couple bucks knocked off the waveline DC6000 return pump for my freshwater livestock. After removing all the sand and rock work I took it to Mike (Ratkiller) to be drilled, him and his wife were super nice and helpful and welcomed my 2 yr old son and I to their house. Mike did a awesome job drilling a 1.5" drain and 2 3/4" return, ended up having to drill the top of the tank instead of the bottom as I first intended cuz the bottom is tempered, and all the holes came out perfect as advertised. I got it back to my house and after cleaning it up a little I spray painted the back and bottom of the tank with krylon paint and primer spray paint, it was easy and came out super clean. After letting the tank dry overnight my buddy and I began plumbing came out pretty clean then built and hung a shelf upside down to be able to still put crap up there. The overflow box is being built right now by Jason (jasonp87), will update when I get it in the tank.
Wish I took more pictures but hey I was busy and excited!! Next is painting the room (used to be my nieces room haha)
