Yes. I would shim it as well before it's to late to do so. That way you won't have to worry.

Sorry, that part was referring to Entold's post.

Its okay jpappy. I thought you were talking about overhang with having to do with the unleveling.

Thanks ROYWS! Yes I will be shimming this tank. Just have to wait to i get home from work today.

Is Crypt parva doable in my setup?
I really like the look of it in the foreground. Especially around the moss-covered flat
stones I will also be pl;acing in the foreground.

Any kind of crypt does well in low light. Look forward to seeing it all planted.

Also, your puppy is adorable. I have a pitt mix with that same sweet face.

Finished setting it up.
But it looks like I made some tea in the tank.

decided to run the carbon for a couple hours to see if it clears at least a little bit.

I got the CaribSea instant pea gravel. I didn't use the water conditioning came with I used to Prime. But do I use the bio additive
it came with?

here is the first picture:


any suggestions and tips are greatly appreciated,
