Needed to add some life to the front counter and this is what happened. A 1 gallon fishbowl.
Inhabitants include:
Small Carpenter Wrasse
Astria Snail
Kenya Tree
And Macro Algae
Lighting:
The light mount is 1" and 1.5" PVC pipe fitted together for the XR15. Metal wire is being used to suspend the XR15 over the tank. An air pump with tubing running into the bowl is being used as the aeration.
Filtration:
Filtration for the tank is daily top off with RO water, scrub inside glass with scrub pad, and wipe down outside glass with paper towel. The Carpenter wrasse gets fed 2 to 4 times a week. 100% Water changes are done once a week, and the water has never been tested. Having the macro algae in there growing is the main filtration for the bowl. Water change is only needed for surety of pristine water. No heater for the tank, but the building temp is set at 76. The bowl itself sits at 74.

The fishbowl has only been set up for 2 months and the Coraline Algae is coving the back of the bowl!
At the beginning of having it set up there was a Indo Gold Torch in it. It thrived and ended up splitting in there! Eventually someone wanted it for their tank, so it moved onto bigger places.
Don't think this is going to stick around forever. It has an awesome light that might be needed elsewhere but till that day comes, this fishbowl is one of a kind!
