Then i got lighting installed and a sump..

Then i chucked in a piece of driftwood changed back to the stingray due to pumping issues with the sump.

Then i just bought some java moss today and a new airpump, now running a whisper internal 3i, will attempt to purchase a new sponge filter instead though.
How

it looks as of now.

Only plant as of now is java moss
Lighting is done with a 15 watt 6500k screw in CF spiral. No ferts or co2 added, DIY co2 maybe added in the future when moer plants are introduced.
and yes i know it looks quite messy atm once it grows more evenly on the driftwood will give it a trim. will probably grow hte clippings in a 2 gallon hex by the window.
Any suggestions/ Comments?
Only fauna is the Betta,and possibly pest snails, may add in some shrimp , if i can find red crystal shrimp or cherry shrimp, ghost shrimp are too violent IMO lol..
 
any suggestions guys?
is java fern buriable? if it is i made get one bunch for the back right corner and 1 for the front right corner
 
okay thanks, i also decided to use ht whisper 3i as it is a simply better filter then the stingray, though i would prefer a sponge filteer but the noise of hte bubbles..
 
remoived the 3i... added a DIY sponge filter with DIY airstone..

ergh its not done yet planted for 3 days now hahah... loosened up part of hte moss on the wood and made a carpet.... in a few weeks time itll be good i need a foregroudn and a backdrop plant now...
Oh yeah.. the air pump is dead silent in the drawer... all i hear is little bubbles..with the whisper 3i soudned like a slightrain outside all the time... soothing...
