4 Gallon

I finally finished setting up my new tank which I bought today and was supposed to be a 10 gal but turned out to be a 4 gal. Such a rip off...

Anyways, I managed to get photos and it still looks fine. Managed to move everything from my 8 gal to this. The submersible light blew out on me, plug nearly caught on fire blew a spark, so it ain't working. Took me about 2 hours+ to get this tank working including cleaning it.

That tank looks fantastic! I really like the house and the green substrate on top.

I don't think it's a rip off. That's a great deal for $17 bucks a 10g tank alone without anything cost 12 bucks!

Thank you for your input. I currently have 3 silk plants in there and it's already crowded Felt like adding maybe 1 or 2 more but having second thoughts...

Thanks! I forgot to mention, the house in the tank is actually a pepper shaker I found in my kitchen which my mum wasn't using. So used my creativity and made it an underwater house The light in the picture is actually my phone light which I put in the light compartment, thank goodness it didn't drop in the water. LOL

haha is yours new or second hand? Mine was second hand. Tanks here in Malaysia are quite cheap if you buy second hand. The expensive ones are those quality made ones shipped in.

Aw... So sorry metal. Finding the right tank ain't a once in a life time chance, so you'll find another one soon when you have enough $$
