I've had the itch yet again and snuck another tank into my 700sq ft house. This makes number 11 and hopefully we'll be moving soon so I can have an in home work desk again to showcase it better.
Went out and bought a 2.5G Deep Blue and de-rimmed it.
Spray painted the back with black rubber waterproof paint and filled it with a light bottom layer of Laterite and capped it with Activ-Flora.
Attached the Fluval Nano LED, ZooMed 501 Canister Filter, Ista 45G co2, and a Deep Blue Heat Stick.
Washed out the gel from the dwarf hair grass I purchased at PetSmart (great buy).
Placed the tank in it's little cubby, filled it, and did a co2 test.
The next morning:
Overall I'm very happy how this nice this came out. I plan to get the grass to carpet the whole tank then add a small moss tree or two. This tank once established will be used to breed shrimp most likely. I'll be sure to make a tank journal for this build to keep track of it's progress.
Thanks for looking
