Setting Up My 125 Gallon AQUARIUM!

I built my own stand for this aquarium & do not recommend using the one that the tank comes with. I found all driftwood & rocks used to decorate the aquarium.

    Don’t forget to feed your Royal Pleco. His stomach looks very sunken in. Try algae wafers or some zucchini or cucumber slices. Rubber band them to a rock so it sinks. Tanks all look great by the way man, your awesome keep it up!

    It’s hard to feed them that in such a big tank with so much fish, you put the wafers in and all your fish go at it & until the pleco realize that they’re there, it’s already gone.

    One thing I would advise you to add to the stand. Add 4 more 2x4's on the ends. 1 one each leg, where the front and back long runner board connects to the side pieces. That is the only weak spot you haven't addressed. In that spot the aquarium is resting its weight on the 4 screws unlike the middle that is supported. Other than that the stand looks awesome. Keep up the awesome work and enjoy watching your videos.

They are super and easy to care for..algae food they love!!….you decorate like my brain thinks….if I were a fish type, what would I love in there with me?..lol….wood grain contact paper is great, tape it to the edges of the glass using packaging tape…it comes in two widths, can trim with a razor blade…you will have hours of silent entertainment for the p.m. hours!!..I used to sit at night and watch them in dim lighting…so restful after a busy day!?..keep up the sweet habitats!! Good luck!!👍👍👍❤️talll twisted grasses in three spots will add hiding places and a natural feel for them to relax and grow also!!…super sweet…the bigger the expanse the better I sayM
