there is two pots within the gravel that do hold soil. they were intended to get the plants to grow a bit faster and it has proven to be somewhat good.

i think the reall big challenge of the tank itself was decideing to scape it. also the fish was my biggest thing! omg i was ready to go off the deep end when thinking about it.

it is a low tech tank. i really dont do much with it as of now. i need to get the angels out of the tank though and i want to move the breeding pair of rams to the palm tree tank im setting up mabe tomarrow. we will see. i got to move gold fish out side now lol or make up there tank tonight. i love them!!!

anyway thats about it. the most challenge was fish choice, scape, and i forgot the crypt melt i was having for a few days. all good now! thanks for that question

sad news everyone
im getting out of the hobby for a bit. im minimizing down to a 2 gallon planted tank, 5.5 gallon planted and maybe a 10 planted and 20 for my goldfish. im selling a lot of my plants or trading, and im going to sell everything else in a yard sale. if there is anything your looking for or have for trade i would be happy to talk about it.

Can't believe it! You seemed so psyched! Keep all your tanks. You can use them later. They will keep for years. Ya never know when you'll be bitten again!

yah thats the prob...i dont want to store them..plus i dont want a bunch of lil tanks anymore either i want a bigger one later.

im going to be putting a for sale thing up here within the next few days of all the plants i have and maybe the fish if i want to deal with shipping but im going to to prob send those to a local pet store to get some credit for future items i need.

that sucks guy!!!im going down to 2 tanks as well 3 if i feel lucky. i just dont have time/space any more.as with you my fish/plants are probably going to my LFS.Keep the tanks though man youll get next to nothing for them and you gotta have room some where.or do what i did with some of my older smaller tanks and get some friends/siblings hooked.no joke i gave my friend a 30g and some live rock 6 months ago and last weekend i helped him set up a 225 reef to go along with his 75 planted.Its usually failure that gets most people out of the hobby so getting people on the right foot to begin with has a
HUGE impact.

Sorry to hear the sad news, but even if you just keep the two small tanks you're still in the hobby...just not as intense. You're still gonna stick around to critique our set-ups, right?
