Oceanic 130 Rebuild

dposmondsr · Aug 9, 2020

I am looking to restart my Oceanic 130 with Oceanic Trickle Filter 150. I refinished the stand and have the tank when I want it to remain outside my home office. I want to replace the o-rings. Any suggestions on a source? Also, the unit has Bio Balls which is old school but have not found a reason to no use. Looking for suggestions. Thx

Instead of O-Rings I should have stated bulkhead gaskets

I just set up an Oceanic RR 135g. Whole different setup from yours but all are well built.
By all means utilize the bioballs and sump looks to be in great shape

I had a 75 and then upgraded to this before we moved 20 years into current house. It was in a storeroom in my basement all this time. Finally pulled it out, refinished the stand and put the tank on the stand in what I hope to be the final spot. I will look and see if I have any photos from the old house with this tank. Thanks.
