10 gallon nano, my smallest

[yardboy]

Thought I'd give it a try with a 10 gallon that I heavily modified. Tanks been up three months.
Glad to answer any questions. This is just to stimulate a little interest in this forum.

Looks great, I am thinking about getting a tank like that. How did you make the wall? What are you using for lights? Additives? Filtration and circulation? Do you have a skimmer?
