Well I've been looking I wasn't really liking the way my 30G was setup so im starting over...
What I've done so far..
- Tore down the tank
- Figured out which lighting I want
- What fish I plan to keep
- What plants
- What Rocks/Driftwood
and here's my plan
I tore down the tank, put the cycled water, rock, sand fish into 35-40G container with light old HOB canister, and same heater.

I plan to put a good 2.5-3 inch layer of EcoComplete or Flourite for substrate. With some sort of rock, which im undecided on. Maybe some ADA stuff, even though its like 4 bucks a pound. In the way of plants, I want to make a nice carpet of dwarf hairgrass or something similar. With maybe some larger plants sprouting up. In the way of fish, my list is as follows.
- Otocinclus Cats 2-5
- Sidthimunki Botia Loach 2-5
OR
- Tiger Shrimp 20
- Blue Pearl 10
In the way of electronics.. 65W Compact Fluorescent, new heater, canister filter..

Any ideas? Critiques?
