This tank is special. It was almost free. It cost 15 dollars to reseal it and an additional 30 for a home made stand. It has been set up and running since early July of this year. Rocks are arranged in a stack and glued down. The substrate has a thin layer of soil under the gravel.

Prior to planting the tank was running for approximately a week, to clear up cloudiness and make sure there were no problems with the tank. The following images show some of the growth since initial planting.
