Hello! So, I've been starting to plant my tanks. While waiting for my plants for my 2.5g to come in I thought that I might as well do my 2g over. I have all the things that I need so I don't see why not to do it, plus it is currently very ugly!
Here's the tank:

Gravel, yeah I went with gravel I saw it and thought that it'd look nice:

Filter:

Dirt:

Also with the filter, where do I insert the tubing?
 
Oh, and I'm using bacopa monnieri, anubais Afezlii, java moss and dwarf water lettuce!
 
Here's the tank all clean and ready to go:

My sponge filter isn't working out too well :(. I'll probably have to buy some small filter for the tank...

Colors of the wind is a fun song btw. Played it in band a few years ago :D

Thanks! I've added plants in there but I may have to tear it down, since I can't seem to find a filter that would work. It may be upgraded to a 5g tank... It truly depends on if I can find some money:). But I just bought shoes...

Oh, yeah got bored and brought out the violin:). Nothing better than rocking out to disney music on a violin!!!!

What filter were you using before you redid the tank?

A very small filter, I think it was a tetra whisper 3i. But I can't seem to find any, especially since the last one that I had died on me a week or so ago and I've been doing PWCs all week:p

Looking good so far. :)

Oh and thanks angel!
 
AquaKai said:
Oh my goodness! You found it! I'll check and see if it's at the store first but I'll definitely buy it if I can't find it:). Thanks!!!

Haha I didn't think they were that hard to find! I see them all the time at my petco and petsmart :D

Lol but I like to think I have a gift ;)

....a gift for finding things that is
 
So... Um.... I've decided that I'm going to get a bigger tank:) I looked at the filter, it was 10.99 in the store as well. But the thing is that I can get a 10g with a filter for 14.99... Hm... I think that I'll spend the extra $4 and get a larger tank and a nicer filter:)

Hopefully I'll have a thread for that soon! Thanks for tagging along with this, well disaster!:thanks: Hope you enjoyed the show come back in a few days for the next performance!
