    That's only for now. You are not going to be in this same position in the future. I know a few years from now you will be in a better position mentally and financially and you will reach your personal and reefing goals.

    Dang Bruh that thing is a beast!! Oh and when I measured for my overflow I thought the bulk head gasket went on the back of the tank so now I can't screw the elbows in it's. 1/4 to narrow in the glass box so I had to take a hack saw to the threads :-/

    Thanks. I did some research and usually the going rate to buff tanks is $50 - $60 an hour and he gave me a discount because i spend alot of money at the store in which he services. Most of that cost was for him getting a crew and picking up my tank, taking it to his place, doing the work, then bring the tank back, plus gas and hiring the extra help. But he did give me the advice. Take my time and go slow. I had the right sander but not the right pad and mesh kit. Plus the mesh kit paper lasts longer than the sand paper I was using that would last for about a minute of sanding. So I found the mesh kit online that a local LFS was trying to sell me for twice the price.
