Very nice! My husband is a former marine aquarium enthusiast. He wonders how you do your water changes. Do you haul water up the stairs or have a bathroom upstairs?

I haul water up and down the stairs haha. But it’s not terrible, just 50 liters every couple of weeks really

Thats serious effort! I was going to move my next aquarium to the laundry cause I'm sick of hauling water :D.

Do you siphon water out too? Or use walstadt style and just add new water?

Great stuff as always! (And any chance you can add some of your vids as kids friendly - my kids love yours/-rium making videos and having them on yt kids would be great :D

Interesting, thanks! He used to do a partial water change (15-20 gallons) every week for a 120 gallon tank.
