nice simple setup... very good!

this is such a simple and beautiful setup. really shows what can be done without an extensive build process.

Thanks it only costed around $20 because i had a lot of the stuff from other projects

Looks like theres quite a bit of substrate in the water, isnt that causing the filter any problems?

[zach2011]

yea i had to raise the land area a little bit and use a net to get the dirt out but its still looks the same, the water level met the land a little too close if you look in the one picture you can see what i mean

whats the brand and model of you filter. it looks like u have a 10 or 15 gallon tank and im having a hard time finding a canister filter for that size of a tank.

[zach2011]

Its a Tetra In Tank Filter (Whisper) for up to ten gallon

[beckdg]

lucky... check out cascade if you want a small canister... google it... then click on shopping... penn plax cascade canister 500... up to 30 gallons... the flow should be adjustable, so it should do great for a smaller tank... i use the model for up to 100 gals on my 50 gallon tank... works great imo.

That's really cool! I like your filter. I'm currently working with some ideas to turn a filter like that into a waterfall. I like what you did with the rocks, and I LOVE duck weed. I bought some from a local store, but they charged me two dollars a tea spoon), and said it would grow fast.....well, it's not growing : 0. So when I get more money, I'll get more duck weed.

So besides my little rant, really good job : )
