Title: 5 gallon for a friend
Post by: jshchrtn on January 21, 2012, 02:56:05 PM
Convinced a friend to get into the aquarium hobby.  He was pumped and I assisted him in finding a Fluval Ebi like my own used.  Though the whole back panel cracked when he was cleaning it in the sink... So I took all of the bits and pieces from it and placed it in a 5 gallon tank I had sitting around! I've convinced him to grow some low maintenance plants and cherry shrimp!  Here are some pics, I have extra dw and xmas moss I put together for him!

Too bad your friend's ebi broke, but I am glad you were able to set him up with your 5 gallon.  Looks like a nice start.
