Sorry the pics are blurry all I have is my crappy phone to take the pictures with.. Just wanted to share my tank with the world.The entire setup has cost me about $150 fish excluded..... I bought the tank and stand for $100 off of craigslist and redid the silicone because it had a major leak. All rock and wood was from my yard and nearby streams.. The sand was $1.50 from my local masonry center. My brother gave me the power head and the two aqua clears were laying around the house. The lighting is comprised of 7 6500k cfl bulbs in a really ghetto fixture. I will soon be building a sump for this tank and will update when I do. I will be using a diy overflow and a spare tank that's laying around. Trying to stay under $300 when all is said and done.
