This is an aquarium I had built last year, had it running until I built one out of acrylic, this tank started to mold on the top which is why I won't be going anywhere near plywood aquariums unless it's temporary!

Never the less enjoy the video and kf you have any questions feel free to ask.

It's amazing how those large fish make even that tank look small!

Looks great though.

Thanks, did it to save on cost but ended up costing more than building an acrylic tank haha

I'll post a picture of what this tank looks like now

I had to buy 3 quart kits at 90$ ordered online which cost about 350$ with tax and customs (I'm in canada)

If you have any specific questions about the tank message me haha

Is there a reason you chose to go bare bottom?

Also, did you make it L shaped just to save money on the glass or save space?

Bare bottom is easier to maintain and I didn't really know what I wanted to do with the tank, so I went with it and stuck with it.
Just a matter of preference.

The l shaped was to save on money, I am a college student so money is tight haha. I bought an old 75 gallon of which I used the glass and bought the plywood to make the dimensions match what I needed.

The downfall to this tank is the huge blind spot in the corner
