I melted holes in the lid (if I used a drill, the lid would crack)
stuck the tubing through them and cut the end off of the plug (to get the wire through the hole) The pump sits on the bottom of the container and the output goes into the tank, the intake tube goes through the top so that the water goes through the filter media to the pump, which pumps the water back up the other tube and into the tank (sounds confusing, if you dont get it, just say so)
I don't get the filter.


I see a flower coming out of my anubias petite. At least I think it's a flower. The new developement doesn't look like a leave at all!

I dont know when I'm gonna put shrimp in it. The hc got so thick at the front, that it sloped backwards, so I trimmed it, no after trimming pics, but here is how tall it got:

Your tree looks great and also very natural. Reminds me of some old apple trees in the backyard

What is this plant on the left side, that bush with red leafs?

SWEET, looking really cool thus far.
I think the addition of shrimps will give it some extra character.
