Super excited to see everyone's creations!!!
Before with blue leftover rocks,
Mine started out with a, think 1/2 gallon Fish bowl, with Ramshorn snails, then went to this bigger round bowl.
Found at a Habitat for Humanity ReStore thrift store for $1.00.
Last week I switched out the gravel for Garnet sand.
Which here is a link for a drawing for free Garnet sand RAOK.

This would be enough for a "bowl", vase or what have ya.
A couple months ago I put in some blue dwarf Cherry shrimp, ambient temp in the kitchen, where is keeps arount 69-70F being it's winter. Only air from plants. LOTS of plants. They are doing great. Add tiny-small amounts of food. every few days
Originally was a place for little bits and scraps of plants which were too small to plant.
I have a new project. Just got a large 3 gallon container, kinda like an old fashioned candy jar that sits up right, not the slanted kind.
Can't add a pick as I am at the 100 max allowed for free in my albums! lol
Basically will be the same thing, but with Dark red Cherry shrimp. That way I can see them easier. Blue Cherrys blend in pretty well, especially before with the blue gravel, lol.
Love it! Do you have a heater or anything?
Awesome! I just picked up a pretty big bowl myself this past weekend. I'm guessing it holds 2.5-3 gallons so I can't wait to start planting in it. Gonna do potting soil with an EcoComplete cap for my substrate. May have to start a build thread once the project begins!

Awesome! Looking forward to following!
I still have no idea what I'm putting in mine!
Yay yay! This is going to be fun.
Feel free to post pictures or whatever you would like. I'm going to use it as my build thread, but so can anyone else! It's all about inspiration.
Thanks!
It is sort of like working on a group project with your own interpretation! I think this will be really fun, so thanks for sharing the space!
I have a two gallon tank that's planted.. That's smaller than some bowls
