    Tank looks nice. Remember to check your ammonia levels as aquasoil will spike ammonia at some point, which can be fatal to your fishes.:eek:

    Looks good. Why does it always look easier when someone else does it? :)

    Tank looks great! How are your neons doing? I was keen to keep done neons in a small tank, but wasn't sure how small i could go cos lots of sites said they need quite a bit of space for swimming..

    Took the neons out about 3 weeks ago, they were very happy but the cherry shrimps had berries and did not want to feed the neons too much protein...
