A very important point to keep in mind while designing your custom aquarium – is the aquarium decor design and many don’t think about it and overlook it!
If I need to put in to a nutshell the most overlooked point while designing a custom aquarium – I would choose it is the long term maintenance and upkeep. This may include various points, for example; accessibility to the gravel bed for gravel syphoning, access to walls to remove algae or just basic proper access.
Never forget to ask the question: WILL YOUR DECOR DESIGN ADD A WOW TO THE AQUARIUM WITHOUT INTERFERING WITH ITS LONG TERM NEEDS??
Will the decor design interfere with the maintenance i.e. can we access every part of the tank. For example – How often do we get the request for something rally eye catching like a roller costar may be really cool in your tank however; you may be cutting off access from many areas in your tank and therefore setting your tank up for disaster.
