comments welcome
 
Cheers its still growing i want it to be like a mini underwater jungle
 
Cheers its pretty fun plus all the hardware light fittings bulb etc came from focus so closing down sale bargains :good:
 
Well the whole focus chain has closed (but i dont think its becoming wicks focus were owned by wicks any way tho )

But it certainly helped keep costs down with this lol
 
Looks great.

What's the cylinder glass supposed to be? What was it sold as I mean?
 
Its a lamp shade for the ceeling under the veneer theres a few holes where metal bars were for it to hang
And was 50p from the carboot about 2 years ago its sat in the cupboard untill a few weeks ago :good:
 
That's really creative, Bae. I like it. :good:
 
Cheers the plants are growing so thats good
 
Well the cherry shrimp are going strong still
(they where just added yesterday forgot to say )

And thanks for the comments :good:
 
Got a qeustion does any one know if assasin snails are any good in a unheated tank as i dont want the few pests in there
 
Well the cherry shrimp are going strong still and I think ones pregnant but any one know about the assassin snail

As the pest snails are annoying me ( theres only a couple) and I'm not feeding this tank currently as the shrimp are eating a dead plant leaf
