Time to try a wooden aquarium
I only clean the glass when it needs it.The fish look good!
How easy is it to clean a tank like this?
Once every 3 months I siphon out all the sand and eithe wash it or replace it with more pool filter sand.
Thats it
Glad you enjoyed, hope it helps. I hope I posted enough of my mistakes.
Underwater LED lights, skip it
When joining wood for sump, use more than just silicone. Dont cheat like I did and fill skrew holes with silicone either.
When 400 gallons of water is added to tank it changes shape of the stand. Sump should not be attached to stand.
Walls of aquarium should be at least 3 to 4” higher than water line and sealed really good.
Your floor may not be level over a 10’ span.
The longer the stand pipe, more leaverage to
fail.
Just a few mistakes that come to mind. OH, and that a cordless drill can fly out of your hand with zero notice! That drill still works despite falling in the water.
Enjoy! Im looking forward to my version 2.0!
