Got a few things...

Well while waiting for our (the boy's) 10G to cycle i figured i would grab a couple things for it. Still need a heater but got a thermometer, florescent screw in bulbs (brighter), a air pump, some air tubing and a bubble curtain. Does the bubbles going into the filter hurt it? Here is a pic.

looks nice I really like the colors! I don't think that the bubbles will hurt anything. Good luck with it!

No it will not hurt the the filter at all. Just makes more bubbles and dissolve air in the water more.

Cool, Sorry for the blurry pic its from my phone.

You'll likely hear the impeller of the filter "chewing" on the bubbles, and it can be quite loud and obnoxious. Some claim that it can cause the motor to wear out quicker too, but I don't know that to be true. If it's not making loud noises, I wouldnt think twice about it.

Tank is looking good. congrats

Its not making much noise. Thanks match I think its a old piece of LR it was dry when I got it so i rinsed and scrubbed it REALLY well in HOT water and put it in hope it will be ok cause since then I read your supposed to boil things you put in the tank...


Could I eventually have real plants in this tank with the setup I have now?


I got two of these bulbs in it now...

20 W of CF over a 10 gal - you can do low light plants like Java ferns & moss, maybe crypts. <You may also try some stems like hornwort or hygro ... although they need a bit more light. I had 33W on my 10 when I had those.>

So no plants with these bulbs?
