Aren't most tanks against a wall? But ya, I hear ya. It was really awkward to get back there since the overflow is literally inches from the wall. I tried so hard not to make a huge mess but ended up with one anyway. What I ended up doing was taping up a huge sheet of painters poly wrap plastic on the wall and under the overflow around the tank. That helped a lot. Getting up there was awkward too. I'm not a tall person so balancing on a combination of step stools and barstools was interesting. Hopefully I'm good for another 5-10 years

Right on! I like the painters plastic idea, makes sense to minimize the wall mess haha. I am going to give it a go as well.

Nice pieces and good variety. Envious of the amount of corals being sold in Calgary compared to Edmonton.
