i have a 4g bio orb in my office the problem is that its a sphere and viewing isnt all that great due to all the bending of light. so i did what any respectable planted aquarist would do..... looked around this site untill i found something i though would be cool! i did and i did. purchased a 8"x8" cube from a member of this site (very happy by-the-way), looked at lighting setups, and settled on a polished steel desk lamp with a 100w fluorescent twist bulb. my co2 accessories (drop checker and diffuser) are in the mail, recieved my deco art filter by red sea yesterday and have it running.
the first day i got the cube i brought some aqua soil from home i had left over from another project to work. laid the soil out and choose which rock i wanted to use, siphoned water from the 4 gal bio orb into the tank and let sit.
here is what i have so far.
