Deployment secret fish build thread

[McCarrick]

Hey all!
I am currently overseas on deployment and I acquired a betta fish. I'm making this thread to see how far I can get in building a cool tank with very limited supplies. After being unsuccessful trying to convince the locals on base to bring me a fish, a friend of mine stumbled upon someone trying to sell one that the bought off base. So far I have just cleaned the tank out and replaced most of the water with new distilled water (a little inconsistent to find) and have taken out the plastic duck decorations. I'm going to wash some coarse sand from outside and start slowly replacing the rainbow rocks with the sand. We can order some stuff on Amazon so after a few tries, found a light that will ship to my location as well as a plant. I'm debating trying to also get a better tank. Anyways, say hello to Augie

Best of luck with the tank! Betta fish have always been interesting to me

Do you have a HOB filter?

All I was given when I got him is just the tank, net and food. I'm getting a plant to put in there this weekend. Part of the challenge is that I have limited access to power and the power I do have runs off of a single 220v outlet
