Anyone on here build their own AIO tank? I got some of those new Petco rimless tanks and wanted to try to make an AIO out of them but don't even know where to begin

I haven't done one but here's a good thread and some IDs of members that could probably assist. I looked at doing one so kept this thread handy.


I believe there is a company that makes readymade inserts but I don't know if they will fit your tank.

The only thing is that they did theirs by having them laser cut. I don't have access to a laser or know anyone who does

I tried to go down the score and snap approach and eventually went with the foam wall idea. After about 6 months of detritus buildup in chambers I scrapped the tank and drilled for a sump. I would look at having a shop laser cut or buying a fiji.
