    Don’t forget to feed your Royal Pleco. His stomach looks very sunken in. Try algae wafers or some zucchini or cucumber slices. Rubber band them to a rock so it sinks. Tanks all look great by the way man, your awesome keep it up!

      It’s hard to feed them that in such a big tank with so much fish, you put the wafers in and all your fish go at it & until the pleco realize that they’re there, it’s already gone.

    Quick tip: I buy my sand from Home Depot. It’s a 50lb bag for $5. I believe it’s called play sand or something to that effect and I love it. Or I also buy my sand from tractor supply which is like $10 for a 50lb bag and it’s black and it’s called black diamond blasting sand I think.

They are super and easy to care for..algae food they love!!….you decorate like my brain thinks….if I were a fish type, what would I love in there with me?..lol….wood grain contact paper is great, tape it to the edges of the glass using packaging tape…it comes in two widths, can trim with a razor blade…you will have hours of silent entertainment for the p.m. hours!!..I used to sit at night and watch them in dim lighting…so restful after a busy day!?..keep up the sweet habitats!! Good luck!!👍👍👍❤️talll twisted grasses in three spots will add hiding places and a natural feel for them to relax and grow also!!…super sweet…the bigger the expanse the better I sayM

    One thing I would advise you to add to the stand. Add 4 more 2x4's on the ends. 1 one each leg, where the front and back long runner board connects to the side pieces. That is the only weak spot you haven't addressed. In that spot the aquarium is resting its weight on the 4 screws unlike the middle that is supported. Other than that the stand looks awesome. Keep up the awesome work and enjoy watching your videos.

    Maybe you would want to look into anoxic filteration. Most bio filters just stops at the nitrates level. Of which most aquarists will have to resort to water changes to reduce the ever rising nitrates levels. In anoxic systems the nitrates are converted back to nitrogen gas by another group of bacteria which are living in very low oxygen level zones. A plenum or an undergravel filter plate should make your 125 more stable and lesser water changes. A coarse pvc netting can prevent your cichlids from digging up your substrate. My aquariums are doing great after I used the anoxic system
