As some of you may know, I recently acquired an awesome 30 gallon tank.
This is what the current progress is, roughly.
Inhabitants: 1 Halfmoon betta (Incendio), 1 bristlenose Pleco (Prose)
Substrate: Sand, with blue gravel piled up on one side as to aide in cycling
Hides: 5 tank ornaments, all plastic, silk plants. 1 terracotta pot.
Filter: 20-40 gall. filter. Running at all times, working well.
Bubbles: 1 dual-output motor, 1 bubble stone and 1 18' bubble wand. Current is too high, put a clip on the bubble stone's tubing to make less bubbleage. Might just bring the motor back for a single-output and use the wand. I love that it came with 2 anti-siphon
Misc:
Today I put in a weekend feeder. When I went to bed, Prose was eating off of it. I woke up today and looked in the tank and there were holes all the way around it like some sort of weekend-feeder-swiss cheese. Prose loves those things. Best 2 dollars I've ever spent on him. I have 3 more, and I doubt they'll last very long. He looked so happy, so totally worth it. Getting him some driftwood tomorrow, he'll finally have the enclosure he deserves. lainge;aoweing <333.
Also looking into getting more things for Incendio.

um ya, where the pics at??? Every time I go to the aquatic store, no matter what tiny purchase im there for, I wind up gushing over their tanks. They have a section of tanks so wonderfully decorated, no fish in them, just, showing off the products I guess. I'll take pics next time, it always gives me inspiration to do more with mine.

Just went on a shopping spree, courtesy of my birthday <3333 Old tank:  This tank had sharp edges all over the place, and I was seeing Incendio's fins get shredded worse and worse every day. The current was too high, and there was barely anywhere to hide. New, as of today:       I love it. I absolutely love it. Silk plants, I took off anything plastic, got driftwood, live plants, a moss ball, everything. So beyond excited. Incendio doesn't know what happened to all of the space. He's starting to swim through the plastic plants,s o I think he's enjoying it. Oh, and bonus:   I got Piper shirts.

I actually had to stop using them temporarily on one of my tanks because I couldn't see my fish in the freaking JUNGLE I had XD The more I look at it, the more I think you should stand that piece of driftwood up. I think it would add some nice depth and shape to the 'scape smile

I'm excited to start using them smile it'll be a good time. I like the driftwood how it is- and it seems that Prose does too. He's been attached to it since it started.

I wish my dogs were that lucky LOL They used to be on stupid Dog Chow, because thats all my pain in the butt parents would buy, but by some strange twist of fate, tight times have *ME* buying their food, and I have them on Costco now twisted -evil laugh-
You'll love using ferts. The plants'll be so much greener, and healthier smile
Haha, its your tank, so its up to you how you place the stuff :p
