[619torrey]

hey everyone today i decided to show you all my shrimp tank:D

i went to a fish shop about a month ago and picked up a tank, a mr.aqua 45cm tank which cost me $90 i didnt know if i was a good price but i bought it anyways lol,i also picked up a bag of benibachi soil.

here is a picture with the soil in the tank:

then i went on to trying to scape the tank at first it looked like this:

then i was like no this scape isnt nice so i pulled out all the plants and the wood and tried again and then i changed the scape to a wood iwagumi type tank and it looked like this:

the pieces of wood i had were too small so i went out and bought some larger pieces then i rescaped:

and it looked like this

then i put in the water slowly and in a couple of hours the tank was clear and the final product looked like this it is pretty good for my first attempt at aquascaping and i thought it was pretty good btw i dont even know why there is a diffuser in the tank i dont even run co2 lol

the equipment i used is:

eheim filter 2213 cost- $100

lighting is a 2ft 2 tube light-$60

the tank- $90

the soil- $50

the stainless steel mesh intake- $12

the bowl for the shrimp to eat in- $5

the plants-$30

in total the tank cost me $347
