Default What I'd do differently next time.
Have not been around for awhile and I am now in the middle of developing my basement ... have made space for another BIG tank

So since I have been away from the hobby I thought I would see what people would do differently if they had the chance to start over

I've been thinking about plumbing replacement over time. A commercial aquarium has to have a plan for reaming out the pipes, which tend to have things grow in them over time.

It isn't likely that there is a "next time" for me...but if I was to do it again I would put more thought into plumbing so that sections/valves are more easily replaced/cleaned.

Hi Steve, I'm gearing up for a new tank in the 65g inwall.

I've been going through pictures of my nine years in the hobby, and I am going to:

a) get fiji rock
b) limit fish
c) enjoy

Hey, welcome back.

I would say that if I had to re-do things, I would ask more questions on forums than just trust my LFS and I would think more carefully about my aquascaping since it directly affects my ability to stock the tank.

I would set up a hospital tank before I set up the main tank to protect the main tank from aptasia, and ich to name a few self-created problems.
