SeaSloan217's 75 Rimless W/Bashsea Build Thread

[Connor Sloan]

Here is where I'm currently at, just got the stand buttoned up today, flex seal dried on the bottom so the sump is sitting in there to see how it looks! A friend is coming over tomorrow to help me plumb and move it into position. BUILD THREAD continued past....

Build the stand w/ 2x4 skeleton. Don't forget to account for the extra length and width bc of the trim.

Had to get some shots of the Bashsea sitting pretty in the skeleton. Also, picked up a reef octopus 110 int, small but ok for now.

While I did build the frame myself. I did have to call in a favor to my friend's dad to help me finish the skin/wrap. He has a woodshop and gave me all the wood for free. Amazing. Shout out to Dennis!

Flex seal, upon application I wasn't sure how I'd like it. Upon drying, it's amazing. Worth the $30.

7 packages arrived while painting the stand. Had to pull the LifeRocks out! 40lbs of regular LifeRocks and 1 box (~20lbs) of the LifeRock Shapes.

Simple paint job, sanding, primer, glossy black. Simple and Elegant.

Thank you so much! It's a Seapora 75 Edge RR. Same exact tank as the DeepBlue.
