Looks great!

Be careful about the sea shells as they tend to alter water chemistry.

My belief is that if you wouldn't find it in freshwater, keep it out!

Keep us updated with how its going!

alright so a little slow goin on here lol
hopefully thisll start up something

the cube is still going i ended up with a bunch of plants i collected from local
rivers and being from a "northern" climate they thrived in my "tropical" tank
it quickly grew to a green mess i trimmed it back a couple times but it wasnt
really going the direction i wanted so i took out a bunch of the crazy plants

just a couple weeks into the cube mts hit   hopefully just temporarily

so now i have both tanks running side by side on a table in the basement
its not the cleanest setup   by any means    so im making more changes

and they come in the way of ditching the cube   for now  and concentrating on
the big tank  im in the middle of building a stand for it ive also got a inline co2
reactor / heater in the works as well as some new lighting   

i need to take some pictures with a real camera of how it all looks now so i can
really enjoy the new super clean setup and of course to share with everyone here
ill include detailed specs on everything in the tanks in that later post

more to come   thanks  Ben
