This is awesome! I started two jars last week and loving it. Thinking of starting more. Love to see what other people do.

Searching the forum and compiling this list is pretty time consuming.
Please submit your 'tank in a bowl'.
Thanks!

Old and long gone, only full picture of it. Bubbles all over, kind of plain and in an old plastic container of some sort. I liked it, kind of looks like a lone tree in the desert with some 'wind damaged litter' below, lol.
Does it still count?
