Don't blame it on nano...You know you was anxious urself. Looks good...get some water in it already sheesh :teeth:

ha, my girl got the bright idea after we got home of sanding the gold part all the way down and staining it, to match that table next to it

Now this sounds like extra work to me...It could be a trick, now I never said this but is she gonna be doing the sanding, cleaning, and staining?

BTW if you do go this route, stain, then seal seal seal...

save the headache and just paint it black.

Ehmmm, his GF has a good idea there, and just think...if she is happier about the tank, it will make his life that much easier.

...I actually noticed the edge of the tank and the finish on the table at first glance, looked back up the page to see if they matched...said hmmm, I'd refinish that...and THEN found this exchange about refinishing the edge.
Just do it

BTW- Nice tank, good luck with it!!

And Drunktank - I thought exactly the same thing about the BF...lol

Trust me on this.. get the "look" to match the rest of the house and she will be more than happy when you spend money on filling it up... she wont complain about that cost...
she will actually get into it, which means you can buy more

You are not going to paint the whole thing into gold I hope. That'll look really bad. If you are going to just sand out the gold part and restain it with the color that match the table and keep the rest as it is, that is not a bad idea and not too much work.
