Some thread a few days ago (can't remember which one) had someone mention to do a riparium. Had no clue what this was, so I did a bit of research and was sold. I have a 10g set up with a one inch dragonscale betta in it and two sitting in the storage room, so I thought this would be perfect to set up for him and just transfer after it is done and cycled. And I've never done a log before and maybe this will help someone else out? I will try to post pictures as I go along.
So, I did a bit of reading on how to and lots of people say no, of course. But, this is a 10g and will only be filled roughly half-way. I have two back-up tanks just in case I mess something up or it cracks, so no worries. Anyway, lots of people use lots of different tools and do it different ways. Personally, I found this article to be the most interesting and easiest step-by-step presentation.

So, I'm going to clean one of my 10g tanks down (I'm usuing one of the storage ones and they are a bit gunky) and go buy some razors and alcohol in a bit.
