 heres my 58 when first purchased, the sealing was dry rotted so i had to reseal it i also wanted it black :\ what a mission that was lol. here it is day one stripping the old silicone off  he it is cleaned taped and ready for silicone!  here it is being tested, tested it for 1 week and it holds great!  the next step was to paint the tank here it is all wrapped up and ready to go

heres the tank after the paint
  next was the stand, hardest part of all! i didnt know how hard it would be to sand by hand but ya.........definitly harder than i thought. started with 60 grit then a 400 grit to make it smooth. i had to trim about 1/4 in off the back bottom 2x4 so i could fit my 20 gallon lon sump in. here it is all done with sanding!.......2 months later.
