35 Gallon Hexagon Build Help

The whole thing? I am impressed! Lol. The reason I asked about online versus local is that your options open up dramatically with online shopping. You can keep the plants in pots, if you so choose, or plant them directly into the substrate (my preferred method). As far the false bottom goes, the holes we drill into the support pieces are there so water that gets inside of them does not get stagnant and breed bacteria. An alternate method you can use would be to use stiff, plastic cups (real cup, not solo cups lol) of the height you want and silicone them upside down, therefore sealing them so no water can get inside. I'm going to be covering building a false bottom in the construction thread over the weekend.

Oh! I thought you had to drill holes in the actual tank!! Well that's a relief! I will definitely need to read up on that article! What are some reputable online plant shopping sites?Thanks for everything so far!!
