Now I have a good answer when I hear, "What do they need all of that space for?" I'm out of room, but will have to find a spot for something like this.

Glad you like it! I've seen tanks far neater than this and far smaller. Lol. But I think these little ones are very neat

Everything is going really well here. The shrimp are molting, but one is berried, which worries me lol. No more babies in this tank.

The scale of the little micro tank is great. Is that a filter in the back of it? Hagen Mini Elite without the airline? I use one of those in my daughter's 5 gallon for her betta. How do you think it would do with sand in a small tank like this one? Seriously considering one now after seeing how the light looks on yours.

It really does complete the tank. Yeah I didn't exactly know the function of the air tube, so I took it out.
The tank is so easily scaped lol. I actually was going to try sand but decided against the trouble. I think it is worth a shot. Just have a backup plan.

The air tube theoretically pulls air down into the tank because of the lower pressure caused by the movement of water from the filter - since there is no surface movement from the filter itself. I have the thing so heavily baffled in the betta's tank that the airline is probably useless, but I left it anyway.

So all in all, I spent about 10 on the tank 8 on the filter and 16 on the light. The wood was spare wood from an order, the FSS was spare, the moss was something I was about to throw away and the shrimp were culls. Not to make it sound less special, but I did have a goal and purpose of making a nice tank for my girlfriend, and I did. She really loves it! $34 on a tank, not bad.

This is a sweet little tank you put together on the cheap, classic MABJ style. I think the light looks really cool hanging like that, really completes the overall aesthetic. Will look even better once the moss grows in.
