Great idea, I will try that this afternoon when I drill a few more. Thanks for the tip!

Following the methods described by both Corey and Steenfott (seen here) I successfully drilled my first tank. It was nerve racking, however taking my time and following the directions made it relatively easy. I am slowly going to swap out all my tanks (10 and counting) and drill each successively to upgrade the capability to add sumps and water change system. They describe the tools and parts used in the video, just to confirm this is what I used. 45mm diamond hole saw for the glass 1 3/4 inch wood hold saw to drill the jig 1 inch bulkhead You will never forget the first tank you drill and I feel like I just leveled up! Cheers, Mike

I looked there, and did not see any. I did however find some sweet Apisto's so that worked out just fine for the moment!

The latest video on Tazawa's Tanks with Dean inspired me to try a brackish tank, and in particular mudskippers. However, it appears they are very difficult to find right now. Does anyone know of a source for mudskippers at the moment?

First-time caller here, but I thought this would be a great place to post about a successful experiment with my aquarium. I have envied the rock backgrounds Cory has been showing off lately, but had decided to just to paint the back of my tanks like normal. After rooting through the random leftover paint bin in the garage, I came across an old spray paint from my youngest daughter's old school project. Her project was to create a solar system out of styrofoam balls; mine became an experiment to see if it would look like as a backdrop in an aquarium. Long story short, this "Stone Texture Finish" spray paint looks great! I applied it to the outside of the aquarium on the back, and it looks like a reasonable rock analog! Cheap way to add a rock look to your aquarium. https://www.amazon.com/Krylon-K18201-Coarse-Texture-Granite/dp/B000BZX6VO/ref=sr_1_5?dchild=1&keywords=black%2Bspeckle%2Bpaint&qid=1600793761&sr=8-5&th=1
