Hey first thread so I thought I'd share my complete redo of my 10ft tank

Tank now

I decided I didn't want a dump on my tank anymore and in the thought process I decided to completely redo the tank and make it how I've always wanted it to look

Wet dry vacuum is super helpful

The tiles for the bottom

All in it took around 2 days to complete
Except the lid did that over a couple weeks

Cut holes for the airstones in the tiles so they would be nice and snug

Filing the tank to test the piping
Lucky only had one leak which was a easy fix

Looks great.

Be careful with the tinfoiled barbs. I had some tinfoils, they became a pest and started nipping on my rays tails.
