Water changes are done using a pump. There are a lot of union valves throughout that enable pump maintenance. Just think maintenance on EVERYTHING that you plan.

have you get inside your tank as well? I did mine because I can't reach. But yeah planning is everything with dream tank as there is no room for error and if there is, its really hard to fix that's why it could be nightmare for others.

so finally decided on placement...
its going to go in between the front family room and the formal dining...
peninsula...

this is the look I'm after...

*this pic is not mine, found it on the net...

but interesting enough, the formal dining is a couple steps up from the family room, so set up will be similar.

on the lower side; family room side, I hope to add some bench seating. The stand & cabinetry will probably match whatever we decide on for the kitchen.
