Well Martinsreef came over and helped me fix the crack/seam split. The tank did not leak but may have had we not done something. So we put in a support strip 2" x 3/4 " and glued the crap out of it. It is in the sand bed and will not be seen. Thanks again Martin !

Well been busy few days preping the house for the 300. Removed the base trim and carpet. We moved the location of the tank to the other wall. I layed out some 6mil plastic to go under the stand just incase of a leak. Any way thanks to the help of other members the tank and stand will get moved in tomorrow.

Hey Mike, sorry I couldn't make it today. I went back to the thread and realized you were starting at noon. This was one of those days morning (before noon) I would've been able to pitch in. Anyhow, glad you got that beast in place!! Did you buff it out already, or did it not even really need it? Was planning on trying to catch up with you as an extra hand on the buffing.

Awesome, glad to hear you made quick work of it. I wish I would've started with a buffer...doing it by hand is ridiculous. I ended up doing the same, with one of those smaller buffers from Autozone. Looking great!

Thanks guys! I put myself in a corner so at this point I have no choice but to get it done lol. The flooring guy comes on monday to install the wood so I have to have this room finshed, painted, trimed, and floor in good shape. We also decided to do another room with wood so I have to have that done too.

tlsrcs:
I ordered 300 lbs should be in this week. If you can wait and see what I have left I will sell it to you for .30 cents a pound ;)
