Did a total clean-out of my 100G since it was empty and I wanted to start all over.

Ta-da!

Stocking is going to be a bunch of neons, a betta, and some other fish I don't know yet; I am cycling with feeders right now. I do know it needs more plants, though.

Feedback?

Looks great, but you should go with some bigger fish! With that sand, take out the slate and rocks and get a Motoro! I've always wanted one, so I guess if you get one, I'll live vicariously through you!
 
some neons and a betta..hmmm. you need more or bigger fish. You could put like 100 neons in there though. That'd be cool.

Stingrays are illegal where I live and a 100G is too small anyway :(

I already have a 130G with more and bigger fish. I wanted to go tiny with this one ;)

You mean like this?

Good looking start. The 2nd last picture with out lights on in the room is a great one. My suggestion is to turn it into a high tech planted paradise with your neons, and some added snails and shrimp swimming in and around all the plants.

I really didn't want to do planted, it seems like too much of a pain in the neck to me. And I have a snail nightmare in a tank I get paid to take care of, the LAST thing I want is snails :yuck:

I will, however, consider shrimp perhaps. Thank you for your suggestions! :)
 
Nice beginning!
 
nice setup!

if youre gonna go with small fish, at least get some exotic stuff like chilodus headstanders, hard-to-find cories, samurai gouramis, etc.
