How do you all with drop down tanks get to the bottom if you need to? What tricks do you recommend?
 
I will bump this for you.

Is your deepest section greater than 24”?
 
I am working on a new build. I am contemplating doing a drop down. The depth would be 48"
Sounds ambitious. When I had a 150G at 30” deep, it proved a real headache to do maintenance on bottom and I downsized to 120G at 24” which is just right for me.
 
They are a head ache to maintain and keep clean.. I had one about 15 years ago I built my self before they were a thang.. I’d advice a mp40 or something in the bottom of the drop off to keep all the gunk from collecting down there:

I first thought it would be sweet. Then I was digging around mine at 24" and it hit me. How am i going to do anything at that depth. Let alone at 36"wide. I might pass on it. But if some good ideas come across to make it manageable. I might still pull the trigger on one
