I have actually taken the fans off now as I have moved it to my basement. Tht is a great Idea though.

Your tank hood is superb. the hinges could have been replaced with magnetic hinges. anyway i think from diy point of view this is just great.

I think tanks viewable from all 4 sides will see an incline in popularity, as will manufacturing of tanks with 4 sides starphire glass. Right now 1 or 3 side starphire is the standard which is a down right shame.

Also Astrea snails do awesome work of eating diatoms.

you should have put epoxy on that hood so it feels like glass instead of sandpaper lol

dont do a water change when ur in ur cycle.

Chaeto also needs MAJOR water movement. It's not going to grow or do well unless tumbling in your tank. Putting it in a media bag would drastically reduce water movement AND reduce the light it got. It'd be a poor idea, might survive, but it won't be too healthy or provide much filtration.

Might want to put a screen on that swinging door opposite of the fans.
