    How come everyone says Tanks take longer to clean ???

    I did both of mine the other day from Removing Substrate to disinfecting the tanks to adding substrate, cleaning decor in 20 minutes !!

    Ok Ok I understand most tubs only have paper for substrate and 1 simple hide.

    LOL

    Tanks, especially bigger ones, tend to be more difficult to clean because you can't just pick it up and wash it out. You can't really dump the substrate straight to a trash can, either.

    When you have a tank, cleaning is one thing. When I got to the point that I would need multiple tanks to keep up with my growing collection, the glass went in the dumpster.
