got my new light put on the tank looks good and the plants started putting off air bubbles within an hour of turning on the light, the leaves on the 1 plant started raising towards the light.
but atfer doing a pwc and rescaping on friday afternood before leaving to go to my girlfreinds. my tank developed a small leak that wouldnt stop. i couldnt find any water on the glass so i think it was coming up from the bottom. after i drained the tank to about half full the leak stopped, so i went to walmart and bought a new 10gal tank.
i wanted to paint the background black on the other1 so i figured it was a good time to spray the back glass nice a pritty black. it only took about 2 1/2hours to transfer all the sand, plants, and the shrimp to the new tank.
looks good and im realy glad i painted the background looks 10times better than the black plastic background.
here are some pics of the new setup. what do you think
