Figured i better start this its own thread...

Equipment:
2.5-3 gallon fish bowl
13 watt cfl w/ artist lamp

Substrate:
1.5" Miracle Grow Organic Potting Mix
Cap'd with 1" silica sand

Flora:
Christmas Moss
Frogbit
Others TBD

Fauna:
Shrimp TBD

A couple setup pics

Cap'd



Filling





The setup with moss rock, will be moss BUSH!



Humble start



So, this will obviously be a slower project... As the moss has to grow quite a bit, but the frogbit is on its way!

Any suggestions for other plants? I want enough to filter the bad but still have shrimp visible...

I ended up adding some black paper for background, not sure if I like it or not, it seems to make the water look less clear for some reason, even after a fresh WC. oh well, we will see how it goes.

So, heres a low low quality pic of something I havent had before

possible BABY bv's down the road :)

Actually, im not sure what to think about this right now, because the 20L should be ready in a few weeks? and I know itll be a lot easier to move a prego mom than all those babies... but will the cycle be done in time? will she hold off? will she hold her eggs if I move her super close to giving birth?

Details to come...
