I've decided to repurpose my ten gallon fry tank since I now have a 20 long for that purpose.

So far I have put in ten pounds of that black moon sand stuff. I already had all of the equipment I needed but I decided to upgrade to a better filter.

My plan is to move some fish from my other tanks to rebalance a bit.

Here's my thoughts:
From the collection:
7 Cardinal Tetras
1 Dwarf blue gourami

From the fish store:
5 to 8 ghost shrimp
or 4 red-orange bumble bee shrimp

My other thought is to try and find my flower shrimp and put it in there.

Okay, so on to plants...

I have a nice 28 watt fixture that fits on this tank. I'm thinking that I could do some cool plants. I refuse to mess with CO2, so that may be a bit limiting, but what would be some fun plants to do with that lighting in sand?
