Eileen, would you be able to meet at Ocean Treasures this Saturday? I'm going to be there around early afternoon, I believe. Gotta double check the time.
Phong, light swirly scratches and some deeper ones down at the sandbed level and elsewhere. Kind of a haze on it also, but hard to tell. Haven't filled it all the way with water yet. I just cleaned it up some more, and cut it down to 16" tall. I'm keeping the external overflow sans teeth.
"Junk" was probably too harsh a term
It's not all that bad. I'd been planning to use it as a frag tank, but after working on it a bit, I'm thinking about trying to get it polished up nice to be a combination frag/display tank. You know how Ocean Treasures has their corals displayed? I'd like to do something like that. Very open with flat surfaces partway up for corals to sit on. I'll do a pseudo gyre set up for a bunch of flow.
Anyway, the plan is eventually to swap the "junk" tank in place of my 72 bowfront. As an intermediate step before the Truvu prop tank arrives, I'll use this to replace my 40 breeder which I've already outgrown, haha.
Have you seen pics of this type of stuff before?

I'd like to have that kind of an aesthetic but with a rock and corals. TFP's tank is kind of that way.
