I only ever climbed in to clean mine of the all the construction dust. For aquascaping though I did don a mask and snorkel at times. I staged most of my rock on the floor first, and that had its pluses and minuses. (As you probably remember, so I guess I don't have to tell that story over again...)

I've never been inside mine, but mine's smaller and I'm fat.

Plus you have a tendancy to break your tanks without climbing inside them

Sweet man This things going to be wicked!
What's your plans for aquascaping?
Are you using acrylic rods? putty? glue? Or just stacking?

SWEET!!!! Full of water, salt and some rock. Not much longer and there will be fishes and coral, nice job bud. Can't wait to see what you do for rock work, make sure you ask the misses to take some pic from the front as you do it, I want to see you with a snorkel & mask on.

I've got my super long black zip-ties ready to go and I'm sure I'll use some epoxy here and there too. Nothing fancy I'm keeping it simple piles I think. Sloping piles rather than towers so the corals mounted lower down are not shaded when the top ones grow (as badly)!

Nobody wants or gets to see that lol. I think I'm going to lay a sheet of plywood across the tank to scape my piles on. I'll stand in there and work at my temporary bench.

I was waiting for you to bring up the fact I sliced my hand open with an exacto knife ( cut me deep ) after I broke my tank.
