Hey Mark, glad you're getting closer to starting your aquarium. Just a couple of thoughts, you may want to use a gravel instead of sand if your going to grow aquatic plants sand is harder for them to put roots through since there is less space between the individual pieces. Also, you may want to put a layer of actual dirt in the bottom of the aquarium to feed those plants a bag of potting mix with no added fertilizers should work and help keep you from having a nitrate spike. Not sure where you're going to get your plants, but they could have invertebrate hitchhikers if you get them from the wild. My day to day job deals with a lot of stuff like this and even more so with fish production. If you have any questions or need a second opinion, feel free to ask!
Wow that's a lot of really good information!! Thank you very much my friend! It's a work in progress I am not 100 % sure what I'm going to do? I really appreciate your help and wisdom!!
I have been away for a while. Just catching up on my subscriptions. The stand looks great buddy. 21 days? Wow, I can't say that I noticed that detail with any silicone. Looking forward to seeing the tank in action. Take Care.
The aquarium looks great on your stand. Wow that is one crazy rattlesnake skin. Really nice one. The raccoon hide is very pretty. It's cool that you plan to put native fish in the aquarium. Be sure to show us when you add fish to it.
That stand is awesome! Raccoon hide looks huge. That back wall is getting stacked. Love to see how your room has progressed. Good luck with everything brother
Good morning Brother. Really do like that aquarium stand. Thats big Raccoon for sure. Very nicely furred. Best wishes my friend. Can't wait to see the aquarium full.
@@MarkJLarsonOutdoors Yes Sir you’re welcome. I’m loving the tank build and set up process. I like the pumpkin seed in a tank as they hold color well as some fish kinda loose their patterns. Also I suggest not feeding crawdads as they spit the exoskeleton back out and make a mess. And I suggest going way overkill on the filter system. Thanks for the great content.
Big 👍61! Hi Mark, I can’t do nothing without those reading glasses! lol love that stands! Good job! That’s such a cool rattlesnake skin! The room looks great too! Can’t wait to see the tank setup! What are you going to put in it? Take it easy my friend! Papa! 😎
@@MarkJLarsonOutdoors that’s cool! I have alot of tanks with native fish 🐠 from my lake! I’ve been raising native fish since a kid! I’m in the process of making a 20,000 gallon bass pond! If you have any questions feel free to ask! Take care! Papa! 😎🐠

If you add bullheads make sure each little hole is covered. They are notorious for jumping out of the tank.
Great advice! Thank you very much for watching and supporting my friend!
