Tank Fix Up

Hi Guys

I bought this tankk and stand for 600 bucks Today, as you see in the picks the tank does have alot of work in it, and i want to remove the sump on the top as well as all the mirros on the tank and replace some of the braces as the are craked along with one side of the sump thats sitting on top of the tank, whats the best way of going about this?

These 2 picks are the only ones i have at the moment, will take new ones this weekend, but i want to probe some mids so long...

Would you recommend i take the whole thing apart and rebuild it all or what?

I have some polystyrene for u

 

Yeah and i got some steel down in the office as well lol, but looking to replace the bottom of the tank and remove the sump from the top of it, and drill a hole in the bottom, and i do need some polystyrin, thi tank gan take about 417l of water aswell...

 

Also, check the silicone. Tanks that stand dry the silicone can start drying and going white. Leak test before laying it to rest in its spot in the family room with the nice wood cabinet and perusian carpeting...

@Ferryman thanks for the advice, never though that the tank standing so long would affect the silicone
