After that you can compose the video using any time lapse softwares.
2. use any DSLR (this is what i use), then get your self an intervalometer. I got a cheapo Vello Shutterboss that cost me $20 from Amazon. You can set intervals in hours. I use photoshop and adobe primier to edit and compose the time lapse. What I like with this is you can create time lapse on the resolution you wish.. 4K, 8K no problem
Hope that helps.

Never thought about manually deleting. I know I said a month. But the plan was for a year. Have a camera pluged in. Set it and forget about it. I'd be deleting a lot of pictures and probably mess up the process somehow.
Don't want to invest in a dslr that sits close to my tank and may get splashed once in a while. Also size, got limited space. Would need a bigger mount as well.
Ip route sounds complicated. Need a pc or laptop on all the time and charging. Seems like it's bad for the computer and battery. Traveling with laptops and updates restarting your computer.
Thanks for the thoughts everyone
Might just point my cell phone with a cracked lense cover at my tank, once every week and take a crappy picture
