165 Marine Restoration

Awesome! I am getting ready to do the same thing pretty soon. Got a similar sized tank of CL (lady said whoever gets here first gets it!), 3/4" glass, no brace, etc... I'm going to be doing a refurb on the tank and building a new stand. Thanks for the posts and it looks great so far! Can't wait to see the finished product.

Thanks, ill be looking for the build

that tank you have there looks like an ODELL.they were pretty good tanks in there time.I have the starfire 55 as a sump.being that its been repaired and then resealed by you,I wouldnt trust it without a brace in the middle.

I didnt break the seal between the glass just on the inside, so whats your reasoning behind not having a brace? I didnt change anything structurally just aesthetics.

Damn thats crazy, they must have wanted that tank pretty bad. Its inside now so its safe. I was more worried about it gettin hit by a BB gun.

I totally understand, Ive had a couple folks tell me i should. The tanks only filled half way still so I went and had some glass cut for a brace. Ill post some pics up tomorrow.
