Okay, I know all this stuff is sloppy and messy, but I think it's pretty good.
So as yall know, I got this free tank, it was a horrid mess, and its easy to think I probably spent more fixing it than I would have buying a new 10 gallon.
But in the end I think I saved a lot of money.
It came with two mini filters, heater, thermometer, and light and an unremovable lid. that is like a 30 dollar value or more for free.
Then I had extra time and sealant and made some caves and stuffs :)
and a lot of sealant on my hands to pick off.
Here are the pics of my quest to get this thing up and running.
Now I am going to let it run a while and then add Haruki and Spoof :)

Here is the prehistoric beast when I got her.



Here is the clean one and almost ready dividers, I also cut that top off.


Here is what bordom and extra sealant got me.
Spoof's cave is the lback and white.
Haruki's is the pink and red.


Took the bottom thingy out and then I got to decorate and fill the baby.

Somehow I got the light to safely be there.
the last space is empty because I ran outta gravel, and I just wanted to throw my experimental aquarium bulbs in there.
I left a little gravel in there accidentally O.O

Here is Spoofs House :) his cave or him isn't in there yet.


Here is Haruki's spot :) without cave and Haruki.


Tell me what you guys think?
I am kinda proud of myself.

I cut the tiny cups they came in in half and file down any sharp edges and I had to take out some of the marbes so I can get edges under gravel then I use sealant to glue whatever extra marbles and decartive rocks I have to it.

Wow, you did an excellent job transforming that tank. Did you accomplish that solely with the vinegar and water solution? If so, that's impressive. Hell, regardless of what you used it's impressive. That crusty turd has turned into quite a nice, divided tank.

OOh!! I love those caves! They're adorable :) I might pic up a terra cotta pot or two and decorate them! (Making sure to cover that nasty little hole).

You did wonders with your tank btw! I would have taken the filters and stuff and thrown the tank out (lol).

and we have cloudiness, great -__-
my patience has been tested with this thing,
I have kicked it, yelled at it, threw almost done dividers across room.
Banged my head against it.
yeah, it has tested my sanity also.
