TheSaltwaterGuy's 10 Gallon build (pics added)

I don't see anything wrong with leaving the back clear, nice non-white wall behind it. Then again, I guess you'll have stuff hanging back there that you won't want to see. I'd get some posterboard in black and blue, cut it to size, and see which one you like better!

BTW, I think it's good you're going with the 10 gallon, as it fits perfectly on that stand so you don't have to worry about getting another stand. I had a 10 gallon for 4 years. It was my 2nd tank after the original 3 gallon.

Glad to see things moving along!

 

You can hang a piece of black fabric behind the tank for a background. Than you can change the color if you want.

 

Thanks!

 

The tank looks good. Black or blue for the back.

 

im thinking black in my head

 

so the tanks cycling right now; used some dr. tims one and only, although i honestly dont know what it does XD. anyway just waiting for the cycle to end and for the cloudiness to go away.


sorry the pics a little too bright; thats some LR in there

 

sweet, I'm going to be planning out my nano soon, I'm going to be building my own hob over-flow. I think I can do it for under 20-25$. Well have most of the stuff around, but that's what I think it would run if you had to go get them. I'll make a build out of it, so you can check and see if it's something you might was to try.

 

nice! as for me i was planning a sump but since my dad's pissed off at me for spending so much money on the 29 gallon he said no XD so im just gonna stay with my original plan of just a HOB with chaeto, LS, and LR rubble. Also to actually make the tank clean im gonna run some carbon for a bit since the tank's cycling, is very dirty with all the debris in the sand, and i cant add any CUC yet obviously.

 

Do you have mollies for your freshwater tank?

 

well 1 guppy and 3 zebra danios, except mine are glofish. I was thinking to use the 10 gallon actually since it fits PERFECTLY behind my nano tank and is bigger for more space but what do i do with the FW fish? .....ok now you said mollies so... wha? XD o wait a minute... arent mollies brackish?
