holy cow man how are you able to keep the parameters in check with it being so stocked!

also how did you remove the rim i would love to take mine off!

 

[xbruce2x]

Water changes like crazy lol. Taking the rim off is pretty easy. You have to cut the rim near the back wall on each sides. Then you VERY slowly pry the rim off all the way around. You just have to seperate the rim from the silicone and the with a razor remove all the silicone. Just be patient. I did this to both this and my 14g biocube with no problems. My roommate on the other hand tried to rush and pry the rim off to fast and cracked the back of his tank lol.

nice definitely my next mini project
what did you use to cut?

 

[xbruce2x]

I used a utility knife ended up being a bad idea. Any kind of serrated blade will work good. Hacksaw will do great.

 

[Longnose Hawkfish]

Awesome. How many water changes you do in a month?
