Starting over again?
I was wondering everyone opinion on me starting over again. lol here are some reasons why i have been thinking about this.

1. i need to do a DSB. mine is kinda on the small side and everytime i clean the bed i just end up loosing more.

2. i will be making a sump soon and i will be needing to drill threw the wall behind the tank. it would be alot easier without the tank there.

3. some of my glue is coming off from inside of the tank and that would give me a chance to fix that.

4. i was thinking about turning my bow front around to make it a bow rear lol. reasoning behind that is i have always wanted a cove looking rock layout.

i think thats about it. i have a 15 gallon and a 10 gallon i can setup next to each other so the livestock wont get harmed in anyway. i know it would take alot of time and work but im willing to do it anyways because i know the outcome will be worth it.

what does everyone think?

1) put the sand back in the tank

2) I hear ya!

3) i agree, may wanna patch that up!

4) reverse bow- interesting idea! Sounds cool!

Starting over sounds good! You have a few projects you wanna work on it seems like.

In the end I guess it is up to you. Me, being on the efficient (lazy) side, I would probably not, but that's me.

but seriously, i think you'll like it with the bow in the front. me, i would just add sand gradually until it is a DSB......and call it a day.

You'd probably need to rinse it really well and add it about a cup at a time.
