Nice tank, I was wondering with it planted the way it is, what are your water tests reading? You have approx 20" of fish in a 10 gallon tank, and I would be interested to see how this works our over time.

Right now everything is testing perfectly except the nitrates are at about .20. I am going to start running CO2 and once the Barbs get a little large they wil be going into the 75 gallon. The Albinos and regular tigers are doing great together, and they don't pick on the Otos or Shrimp at all.

Looks cool. Can I ask, what kind of aquarium it is and where'd you get it?? I'm looking for a ten to fifteen gallon tank, so I just wondered. I'd really love a 20 or 50 or 100 gallon, but maybe only if my dad knocked out a wall or something.

I got the tank itself at Wal-Mart. It only cost $30 and came with the tank, filter, hood, bulbs and some extras like food and water conditioner. I usually don't shop there for anything, but I heard about this and found that it was the best deal going at the time. My LFS has pretty mush the same set up for about $50.
