With a tank that deep what do you use to access the bottom of the tank? Long grabbers of some kind? or a snorkel and mask?LOL I have almost gone swimming in my 230g a couple of times and it is only 31" deep.

Getting to the bottom of the tank has been a real challange. A few times I wanted to put on my SCUBA gear. I bought tongs from J&L and I was still having problems. I found even longer ones from Big Al's when they were still in Calgary. It is not easy setting in Coral or LR as I have to use the tongs and it can take several attempts before I get it exactly where I want it. I don't know if anyone else has a better tool or system?

Totally amazing!!!
It must be nice to have someone so small that could just swim in the tank to help daddy out.  But what are you going to do when she grows up?
