hi yeah in the water or out i just need to know if its a good idea because joey on youtube makes it sound easy but we all know its not that easy when we do it but the whole set up is going to be home made from cabinet filters and light set up its a six foot tank but bare this will be a mission but im going to take my time with it so it turns out unique thanks for the comments it helps
