    yes water looks low...
    Another tank is always fun! Slap a background on that one and it should come together nice. If i were you i would tuck the heater under the rocks so it is slightly hidden. What lighting are you using? 10watt retro? you got a link to some specs....I've never seen those. are they normal output or high output bulbs?

    Cant wait to see this tank filled in! The nice thing about small tanks is they fill is so much faster and dont break the bank!

    Def following along this one!
