Re: Fastlight's 75gallon first saltwater tank

Good start, keep us posted. on the pressure treated wood make sure you use hot dipped galvanized nails, or fasteners treated with zmax. The chemical impregnated into the wood is corrosive and can deteriorate untreated steel. Stainless fasteners are also ok. I would paint the pressuretreated also, ware gloves when handling it. Do not burn scrape the fumes are toxic. hope this helps for some back ground info on using pt. Keep us posted. looking good.

Johns right on that.Arsinc(sp?) is very corrosive.

You wont have no trouble getting the younguns interested in your tank.Kids love fish.
It does get old wiping my daughters nose prints off the glass though.

It looks great. I love the style. Do the drawers open or are they just for show?
