Yeah, sometimes the upkeep is a PITA, but overall they are pretty low maint lol. Change 20% of the water weekly, give th tank a scrub and youre good! The only thing is I think the fish get Ick every once in awhile, its wierd. The tinfoil periodically will scrub itself against the log I have in there, which is one of the symptoms of Ick. Im still new-ish to the aquarium shit
