I used black stones instead of the multi colored ones

Spiffy setup!

That's gorgeous. I like how you kept it barebottom. It really adds to the clean effect. Hopefully the LEDs can sustain the anubias and DHG long-term.

Keep the pictures coming!

Thank you both! I will be using the desk lamp beside it for additional lighting. It has a spiral compact daylight bulb...should be enough. The stock lighting is not enough to keep any plant alive.

here is a pic of just the stock led lighting

I picked one of these up and then saw that the stock lighting was horrible, so now, I only use it as a rimless nano. I don't even use the little light/filter combo. Maybe if someone pulled a McGyver it could be better for live plants.

ive seen a chi setup where they used a light on top of it all so that they could use the top "pool"/return to plant some emersed items too. not sure how much of that light trickled down to be useful in the tank it's self tho

I am sure one could find suitable lighting and skip the waterfall if they wanted. I had the little light set ups on my small nanos that worked great for plants. Bettas do not like bright light though, and if the DHG won't work, I can get something else.:proud:

I skipped the waterfall/filter combo and use a mini HOB/skimmer combo with a light similar to the Hamptons that people use. Looks pretty good.

New pics of the bettas~
The male got a split in his tail from the trip. I am treating with almond leaf tea.

Thank you.:icon_smil

wow, awesome bettas. you breeding?

Stunning!

I hope to, but not right away. I am going to give them some time to heal up and get in prime condition. Thank you.

Thank you.

I love them already.:tongue:
