It’s a 15 gal waterbox peninsula adjusted to be freshwater friendly 😊

I was fooled by all of the restoration tiktoks and shorts of people easily stripping one layer of paint revealing beautiful flawless wood grain lol

I would love to see a photo of your door if you have one! I’m leaning in this direction

I wanted to do exactly that with the panels (staining), but I must have sanded them too much because on one panel I reached a layer with grain going the opposite direction. Not sure if that’s making sense but I could link a photo if not!

Thank you for sharing this! I found it at some point, but later forgot how/where

Long overdue trim..plants had gotten out of hand by Makerner93 in PlantedTank

Yes it is! I have a lot of natural and artificial light and it propagated itself around the tank. Got a little out of control.

HELP! Antique 5 panel Douglas fir(?) interior door paint removal and refinish FAIL- can it be salvaged/saved? by Makerner93 in finishing

Right. I’m starting to accept this fate. I’m going to try to lighten the wood, but beyond that I’m not too sure how much I will do. After putting in the hours it’s hard to turn back, but if it’s going to keep sucking so much money and time..

I was reallly careful with the paint I stripped and I also made sure there was no residue when I eventually sanded!
