Hidr 4,961 Posted June 4, 2013 Well that is sad. Those tanks looked so cool. But I am sure you can make this one look great too. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
waterfaller1 824 Posted June 4, 2013 The five gallon leaks. But, I got my money back from the seller minus the shipping, and I am going to try to find a way to fix it. So since the fish will be here next week, and I already had plants, I had to set it up. I still do not have the lamp I ordered, or the substrate, so it is nowhere near done. But here is what I have so far. so far the small tank is just holding some plants 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
waterfaller1 824 Posted June 6, 2013 The sponge filters and sand arrived, so I started the internal part of the tanks. I will update as the water clears with better pics. Here is a sneak preview~ 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

waterfaller1 824 Posted June 7, 2013 Thanks so much everyone! How did you decide what plants to use? I have kept planted tanks on and off since 08'. I am buying and sorting through some, others I know I will like because I have either had them before or they stay small. Lots of research, trial, and error. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
