    [​IMG][​IMG]
    Not too special. I started it back in August.

    Filtration: aquaclear 20
    Heat: topfin 75w
    Light: LED desk lamps

    Livestock:
    2x bloodfin tetras
    4x neon tetras

    Future plans: add another 3 bloodfins and 1 more neon. I'll be upgrading to a 40gb planted(?) in September.:)

    You should get some more life in there though! Gourami, killifish, glass cats, oh and definitely a pleco(dwarf) go for a pit bull- I love mine. Also kuhlis are awesome especially in large groups. Just no hatchets- they're ich prone.

    I have an incandescent hood that came with the tank but its super hot. Brings my water up to 84 degrees. Plus I can't plant in gravel right?
