Mine has moist still visible between the glass and the vinyl. It won't go away. Why is that?

glad it helped, Michael!
I seem to have pushed a lot of soapy water into the top rim of the aquarium while squeegeeing. How do I get it out? There’s also a gap between the top edge of the aquarium and the black vinyl, even with the perfect factory cut. Am I supposed to push the vinyl underneath the rim?
Thanks man, great video.

Is it okay if I feed my betta one or two pellets a day my tank water is pretty cold so he has slower metabolism i think so Is one pellet enough?

in the mean time yes, but highly recommend you purchase a heater for the longevity of your betta
Would you consider ever doing a review for the topfin 5 gallon retreat brand?😁 I hear alot of back and forth comparison between that brand and Marineland!

Great video! Very helpful and detailed! I have a question about soapy water drips. How do we avoid - or rinse (somehow) or thoroughly wipe clean any soapy water that may have dripped into the unfilled (of course) tank while spraying? I’m working on a 5.4g Landen for my “special needs” betta, and I am especially worried about ANY tiny bit of soapy water getting onto the inside glass, especially given this tank is so small. (My little platinum dragon had permanent swim bladder and, probably too, a spinal deformity when I got him. And, more recently, he has been having some difficulty getting to the surface, which is why I bought this small, shorter/horizontal tank). Your videos are great, btw! Lots of info, clear and concise. Not a lot of miscellaneous chatter (as I see on many other channels). I look forward to learning more from you! Thank you, again. I look forward to your response!

i wouldn't be too worried after a complete wipe down. you can take other precautions by 1. spraying with the opening facing away from you or 2. taping the opening shut before spraying a few 90% water changes beforehand wouldn't hurt either appreciate the kind words as well!
