GumBall Machine Tank.
5
Ok, So i have a gumball machine that I'm turning into a Nano-Tank. I took out most of the mechanical parts and siliconed the thing to death. So i have no leaks, and all the metal that is left is stainless-steal so hopefully it wont rust for a long time. He is a list of parts I Bought.
For lighting I bought a Marina Led Light;

Filtration - Tom Aquarium Products Mini Internal Filter;

Heating - Marina C10 Submersible Heater;

Ill Prob use eco-complete substrate, and cover the heater. I plan on planting some type of moss or other low light ground cover, and an anubis. As for hard-scape I don't know if i want to throw a twig in there or some Rocks, So suggestions would be great. As for the background I thought making it look like gumballs would be be appropriate so syliconed some bouncy balls to the back. Here are some pictures of what i have so far. Thanks for looking.

Update:
I added some black gravel and an Anubis from my piranha tank. Also added 3 "GloFish" from my EBI. It looks good, but i def need to add more light. Im thinking of just adding another on of the lights i have, but i still dont know if that will be enough. I might get a led strip from auto zone and try that. It does look good though. The glofish are going to stay there for a week or so. Im leaning toward 2 or 3 Guppys, Shrimp, and a cool looking snail. All suggestions are welcome, especially when it comes to a snail.
Some Picture Updates: (poor quality)
