hey hahah thanks!

ill keep the bubbler going just incase the high O2 levels slow the growth of the BGA

and as for the inhabitants i am planning to get some more shrimp soon. I feel so bad

that the single cherry i have has to scour the tank by herself.. So depressing.

All in good time =)

These were pictures from Yesterday :

Hello Everyone,

So this tank is actually a reincarnation of my 10 gallon which cracked a couple weeks ago and i transfered all of its contents into this new 15 gallon. Thank You to SkyGrL who is also on this forum for providing me with this great new tank =). I am still rather new to this hobby and my knowledge is basic at most. I really love the feeling I get from this hobby. Like many others I find myself losing countless hours tweeking little things here and there trying to make it perfect and then stepping back and sitting to stare. Everything just disappears sometimes and i find myself just staring. Its Really great. Anyways on to my takn

The water was really dirty and full of mulm since i transferred all the old water and debris from my 10 gallon into this tank to speed up the cycling process..
