So I decided to drill a 2g that I found on eBay.
Super simple and straight forward build. Didn’t
Cost me much since I had a lot of the parts laying
around accept for (2) Bulkheads. Plumbing gurgles a bit
every now and then but it’s not that bad. The flow is super slow!
I wanted it to be a shroom only build but I needed to move some
Nems around and thought they would look good in there. Bubble tip got
it’s bubbles back and color looks good. So I used a bunch of media from my main
Display and threw some baby shrooms in it right away. Also threw
my neon goby and sexy shrimp in there.
I love this tank. Top down look all day everyday!!!!!

Cheap stand off OfferUp
2g UN tank
AA 10g sump

That’s awesome. Use to have a drilled tiny cube like that also with a 10 gallon sump. I loved it.

Everyone seems happy. Picked up a Pom Pom crab last week. He’s hiding in there somewhere. He came out late last night so I spot fed him some mysis, he loved it! I’m thinking about putting my baby OG in there. But I’m scared.... haha
