any ideas??? i also have a 50g but it crack (from the bottom) when i was at work n all my fishes died.i might give it away for free or just make it a breeding tank for crickets or mealworms.
i would blow the initial cash and start a SOLID planted tank, with a few low end and a few high end FW plants...that way i could sell them back to my LFS and get a little bit of return, or pocket change when i needed it... as well for the shrimp
