Excellent job on the cleanup. What are you using to remove the calcium/dirt buildup? I think I saw your post say that the vinegar wasn't working to well.

thanks
the vinegar wasnt working cus i mixed it with to much water.
my pops said less water.
first i scraped off the chunks of salt with a razor blade.
then used a bucket of water and a rag and wiped inside and out.
then i used alot of vinegar and a lil water,just on the front glass.
"not sure if the vinegar really helps" lol
im going to clean it once more cus the dirty water spotted the whole tank.
and i missed some spots.

oh i wanna stock it but im trying to not rush it.

probably going to change out that old carpet under the tank today and put blue styro board.
also do one more cleaning.
then i have to get my gramps over to check out the "oyster" in the glass.
the oyster is still there and loose.
dont wanna reseal cus of 2 spots.
all the other silicone is strong and thick.

wow, nice job cleanin it, i guess u don't need that extreme make over now, hehe. and nice monster fish u dropped in there, he doesn't look too happy though, haha

anyways, don't know if it's a good idea to use metal mesh for the over flow man...it'll get rusty and those rust can be bad
