This is my very first aquarium! Let me know what you all think! Its 20 gallons. I have a few rocks and some driftwood I found while hiking, scouring beaches in Southern California. I boiled it all and soaked it in water for weeks prior to placing it in. The curvy tree on the left is actually a...

This thread is intended to be a log for my 36 gallon bow front aquarium. The tank was started on Jan 30, 2010. My general goal is to have a "cool" tank. Unfortunately, the more cool things I see, the more I realize they can't all coexist, nor can I afford them all, nor do I have the heart to...
