Tomtom's 6.2gal tank

That does look much larger than 6g. What are the dimensions of the tank? I am also curious what your maintenance schedule looks like with a setup like this.

The dimensions are roughly 17"x9"x10". Keep in mind though that it sits on a square platform that is about 1" and the water level is about 1" below the top.

As for maintenance, I run an ATO and do about a 1gal or so water change every 2 weeks and that is it. I have one of those block style sponges that sometimes come with the AIO tanks; ill rinse that out when I do a water change.

Thanks for the response and the info. Really an incredible tank. Congrats!

Thank you! My 1yr thoroughly enjoys it too. She's always walking over to it going "ish ish ish" (her word for fish) because it's at just the right height for her to see.

I totally get that. I have a 15 month old that tries to ride our dog he calls "uppy" around the room like a horse. Poor dog.

Nice! Our dogs are just "woof woofs".

The one clown now officially calls the clam home! The other one is like, "what the heck dude, that's not our home!"

How does the clam do in such a small tank? I'd love to have a clam in my future pico build

So far it seems to be doing just fine. No difinitive answer yet on long term growth for me.

Well I'd love to see how it progresses
