Awesome! Sometime soon I want to make a rimless cube. 30c size maybe.

Can't wait to see some awesome growth on that bad boy.

Thanks! The plants are starting to perk back up so im hoping to see some new growth soon.

Now, your not going to fill this down the road, are you?

I love it. I kinda wish I had more emersed tanks.

[EntoCraig]

Nope. this is a tank on my desk at work and the less maintenance and water, the better...

Eh, I have enough filled tanks at home.

No water, not algae, no maintenance.
