hey hey well i started my planted tank on my birthday nov the 30th actually bought the tank and all. i decided to set up a planted aquarium for my birthday and it actually has been a very fun project. I established the filter using my old ceramic rings and then using filtered water for the wool from my 5footer. i bought Jebo R310 Dimensions 31.5 x 23.5 x 37cm h 27 litres 7 gallons with 1 x 8 watt Fluoro Lights (i want to retrofit this for more lighting) and Top FIlter Flora: Java Ferns, Some sort of grass plant Fauna: Neon Tetras and one L104 Clown Pl*co http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a368/deticulated/novupdate001.jpg http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a368/deticulated/Tank.jpg this is the 2nd day
Well i got rid of alot of the java ferns and added it back into my larger tank this is an old pic with still the java ferns http://www.plecofanatics.com/gallery/data/503/003.JPG i bought some bannana lillies and some willow moss tied it onto the larger drift wood with fishing line which kinda stuffed up but its still together added a Anubis Nana on driftwood in there. A few Neons died during the DIY co2 stage i accidentally had the inside tube too long and it was taking up the water and the mixture got into the tank stressing out all my fish got a few guppies and 2 dwarf gouramis http://www.plecofanatics.com/gallery/data/503/006.JPG this is a more recent pic, today actually at 2:29 am

Looks good,I would just a bit wary of adding DIY CO2 to a small system with fish.
