Default my 10 gallon project

Ok, so here's my 10 gallon I set up just over a month ago. All plants are clippings from my bigger tank, with the exception of some pelia and both rotala species. This is mainly my breeding ground for cherry shrimp, which is working rather well. I have DIY Co2, 4 x 20W coralife fluorescent bulbs in a DIY hanging fixture and DIY lunar/moon lights. To set up everything seen here, I only had to buy a heater and filter. I had everything else sitting around, which is quite handy! I just bought a new digital camera last weekend, and still playing with it. I took the photos on manual mode and had to set the shutter to 5 seconds to get a decent photo of the lunar lights. Please comment or anything that you might change. Thanks!

I agree, nice looking tank! One thing, tho, is it possible to push the heater
down to where it could run parallel above the substrate? That would be one
less "hardware wart" showing.

I would have liked it more if you used some hardscape but as you said, you used all the materials lying around so good work.

I think it looks quite nice! Isn't it amazing what we collect and have lying around the house! I've been thinking about installing a moon light on my tank as well. I have one, just need to install it. Good job!

Nice clean and healthy looking tank. I really like the moon shot picture you took. Makes me want to put moonlights on my tank even more.

Good looking tank, that's a lot of clippings if it was from a 75g tank.
