Redesign!! So it's been a while since I've posted on here and I thought I'd post an update. I got pretty bored with the layout I had so two Sunday's ago I took out all the plants and did some major scaling back. For my very first planted tank layout, I really liked what I ended up with...

Wow! Ten gallon done right! I love tanks like this! Nice set for sure. About how many shrimp you got in there?

I love it. It looks great and I really like the amount of light it gives off. As soon as I got it I noticed a huge change in plant growth. I got it all on a timer that turns on around 7:15 A.M. and back off again around 12:15 P.M. and then back on again around 4:45 P.M. and stays on till...

Nice Set Up!! Wish I could do a larger tank like that one one of these days

When I was first starting this tank, I did a whole lot of research about planted tanks. I couldn't wait to get mine up and going, but I was on a budget.. When I was beginning to buy all of my stuff for it, my original plan was going to be an iwagumi set up. I find them absolutely mesmerizing...

Yeah, I only ended up with them, (the mollies) cause my friends mom was getting rid of her tank and she asked if I wanted them, so I took them. They're really cool couple, always moving about the tank and checking things out. But they are heavy on the bioload for sure. Always pooping, hah but...

I don't have pictures of when I very first set up my take due to a destroyed and lost iPhone, so this is the earliest photo of my tank I have.
