My missus wouldnt let me have the spare bedroom for a fish room so I purchased a snowball plec for our wedding anniversary and put it in our 6ft tank
She then took intersest and wanted a tank of her own so I got her a 4ft and landscaped it added real plants
2 years later and the snowball is still in my 6ft and we have 8 tanks dotted around the living and dining room from 6ft to 3ft the spare room is still cluttered with junk
I may not have got the spare room but hey whose complaining

Sooooooo, the custom 2ft tank is gonna be pulled down and all moved to my 2.5ft (this tank has better lights for plants)

I'm building a fake foam wall for the 2.5ft. If it works out how i want *L* I'm going to coat it in black quartz sand. It will divide the gravel/plant substrate from the front sand area.

Will take a few days of silicon curing before i can start the scaping

Soooo got the wall sanded. I will silicon it into place tomorrow, just gonna give the silicon time to cure a bit for safer handling.

say one thing about you Alasse, your hobby is well diverse

I enjoy trying new things, specially when it comes to making things for tanks. Far cheaper and more fun making your own *L*
