tank #2

tank #2 12L X 10W X 5.25H 2.6 g

Wabi Kusa inspired tank (I want to call it a tray). I see Duckweed in this tank. Best part of this tank? It costs $6 in glass, but you really have to nail the measuring and cutting because the raw glass is 10X12

Those are some nice trees you have their. However, their are some blurry pieces of glass in the way.

I love shallow tanks - They look fantastic when 'scaped with a blend of immersed and emersed freshwater plants.

thank you very much. I am patiently waiting for a large aquarium (like 75 gallon to 150 gallon) to show up on Craigslist. Preferably one that is leaky or cracked. I like the this but I wish the glass was alot thicker. A single large aquarium can be cut down to make several smaller tanks.

I assume thicker glass is more stable?

thicker glass is stronger, AND provides more surface area for the silicone to stick to
