The .7 gallon tank

I found a tiny triple betta deco kit, with dividing walls. And it measures at exactly .7 gallon.

I cut out the dividing walls, a very hard process as it turned out, because of how they were layed out, as you will see by the left over seams.

I made a few small scratches in the process.

The tank has 4 small hollow legs, as you see in the picture above.

I decided to drill through one of these, and I will make an overflow for it. This tank will be connected to my mantis tank, and serve as a prey keeper/mini frag tank.

It will have 1 eggcrate level, glued to the side of the tank. The rest of the eggcrate will be removable. the eggcrate will sit just 1 inch above the sand layer. No powerheads will be needed, as the return from the mantis tank will be more than enough.

I will drill 2 small holes in the side of the nano-cube canopy.

As for lighting I will get a small light, or if I am allowed, I may try my hand at making LED grids, or just buy 1.

I may decide to use/make magnet fragholders for ease of use.

Its inhabitants will be:

1 astraea snail
1 Leander plumosus
5 or more nassarius snails (temporary)
Various frags from both tanks

Yes its small, but it fits my needs rather well, because I dont like having frags in my DT, at least ones that I make, and it may serve as a good frag holding center, for future use.
 
No, because 1, noone where I live can build tanks, 2, i have school coming up, this is much faster, and I really dont mind the scratches, and most of what you see is just water spots.
 
Unless you're in Frisco anytime soon, Thanks but no thanks, I might get in touch with ya next summer, when more of my corals have grown, and Ill need a REAL frag tank. When I build my first REAL frag tank, id like to do it myself, or at least with a little help from good ol' scmas :cool: Its at that point ill really need your help :beer:

Oh yeah, and when Ill be allowed to take the parents car for a day or 2 and come to a meeting.

I can drive now, but my parents are cautious to get me my own car.:bum: :cool:
