I’m officially in too!

Will be using this tank: it’s a 0.5 gallon glass cube without any built in filters.

Son of a.... I just got my 50g tank back set up last week. But this looks like so much fun. Why would you do this to me!?

I got an "ecosphere" for my dad many years ago. I feel awful! Poor supershrimp died a slow torturous death. I had no idea...

Tank is arriving today. It's a standard tank with rim. What color should I paint the rims? (Going in a white toolbox)

Personally I’d probably go white to match but hard to say without pics to get a better idea [emoji848]

I'll be taking some pics tomorrow once I get the tank in here

Ok, I’m not “in in” but I think I’m in. I have an idea for the tank and if I can pull it off it will be awesome.

So far the biggest challenge is finding a 2 gallon tank, lots of plastic and bowls

I’m talking to an acrylic guy on Etsy about making me one. He’s done stuff for my local club before.

I think you can start assembly now, you just cannot add water till the 19th.
I’ve got “supplies” coming Prime and can’t wait to be frustrated with all my ideas, most of which are probably way bigger than my 1.5 gallon tank.

I think a good portion of us are going to experience “small tank” issues [emoji23]

Got some pieces in and got my tank in. Trim is going gloss white. Just waiting on my glass cutter because someone on eBay listed the tank as plastic but it's definitely not haha.

Anyone else have stuff collected yet?
