Planted tank starter?

[Will Hayward]

Sorry didnt receive in time. Crypts are amazing plants. You'd definetly be happy with them i was about to say that those look in poor health though. You shoulf buy some though, just make sure they look nice enough.

keep in mind that crypts melt when they are moved, but they are hardy and grow back after adjusting to being planted where you put them.

I'm very proud of the lid I made next is making the protector for the lamp. Acrylic is surprisingly easy to work with. Lol

Oh yeah the bulb I believe is a 9 watt cfl not a 7.

nice start. defenetly swap out the gravel.

Try plants like java fern, wendelovs fern, anubias, cryptocoryne, java moss.

Well. Drilling holes in acrylic is more complicated than I thought... Cut my hand too..

now that you got it drilled, why not cut to size and sand down the edges?

Lol harder than it looks man lol. This is thin acrylic. The way I splitted into parts was by making a slit with a razor then breaking it. If the piece is too small it's impossible to break off. That's how I cut myself the first time -.-
