This 75-gallon freshwater aquarium was in rough shape when I first arrived — broken equipment, years of dust and debris, and a thick gravel bed packed with decaying plants. Watch this before video to see the starting point of a full aquarium restoration. Soon, this tank will be clean, balanced, and ready for healthy fish again!

Here’s the stunning transformation of this 75-gallon freshwater aquarium! The gravel is now clean, the water is crystal clear, and new equipment is in place to keep everything running smoothly. No fish have been added yet — the tank is cycling to ensure a healthy, stable environment before new fish are introduced. From neglected to fresh and beautiful, this aquarium is almost ready for a new beginning. Stay tuned for the next video.. adding the fish!
