Jealous!
New bookshelf aquarium!

I just got my new bookshelf aquarium yesterday, and I found the perfect TV stand at Walmart to set it on. I've now got it all set up, and Comet is already swimming around exploring. <3

The first picture shows the tank on my stand. Already full of stuff, lol!
I will be getting some new plants soon, but they will be quarantined first. I had to cut the tube from my sponge filter down a bit since this tank is shorter than my last tank, but it seems to be working just fine.
Well, what do you all think? I already love it! It just gives so much more space! It is only 6.6 gallons (25 liters) but the length makes it great. So much more room than my 5 gallon even!

Thanks!
For now I am just trying the fluorescent bulb that came with the tank. I believe it is 15 watts, though I need to look it up to be sure. I'll be watching the plants closely to see if I need a different bulb. But I am open to suggestions!
I'm not using the filter it came with, just my old sponge filter, I really love the quietness of it. And luckily my old heater fits in there too.

mhxistenz - I have a very small gravel vac/siphon. I don't remember the brand, but it was the 'mini' size. I think it will work fine, it worked for my 5 gallon.
Thanks for the tip though!!That is an awesome tank! I love how it has so much horizontal swimming room- perfect for a betta. If I were to set up another tank I would certainly go for that one
Lovely tank! he must be one happy fish!
