Everything you see in the pictures, except the new filter and log w/ flowers ,I got for ten dollars at the local swap meet . It just needed some elbow grease. A little calcium deposits on the top, but not bad at all.




tank 10 gal
20 pounds of gravel(I only used about half)
Air pump and stone with air line
under gravel filter(didn't use)
4 slabs of rock
5" long piece of petrified wood
three plants
Aquarium top
Q.C. sticker says 2005
------------
about $25 New stuff i put on.

Aqua-Tech 5-15 power filter
new light bulbs
small log with imitation flowers


This will soon be my baby Convict tank.

Yup, you are right.Well, the tank has finally completed cycling. The water temp was constant @ 73 degrees with no heater.I took the first set of pictures last night. Today I stopped @ my LFS and gots me a brand new heater. Now I have one of my pleco's & *****-the $2 convict in there breaking it in.Here are the most resent pics (with the heater-just 4 u Flashygrrl!!):tease::D

Thanx Willow!!:D As much as I would love to have another tank, I am OUT of room.My bedroom has an 80 gallon and two 10 gallons.This new 10 gallon is in the living room.But if I find another bargain, I'll have five. It will most likely happen, because I go to the Swap Meet allot.
