Couldn't do my 20 gallon long betta tank, due to a $700 bill for impacted wisdom teeth
Couldn't do my 25 gallon GBR tank because the room I was going to put it in is being renovated.
So, I gave up. Wanted a new tank for my girl, Abba, with a longer footprint and a good base I could put on my desk.
I ordered the Petco Bookshelf Aquarium! New gravel (Caribsea Kon Tiki), some clay pots (drilled and filed down), and a few plants. Definately plan on getting some more plants for her, she loves sleeping on the top leaves of the floating anubias nana (doesn't want to stay down-lol). Not the most natural looking tank, but she seems happy. She is enjoying darting through the clay pots.
Here's the tank on the desk:
And a close up of Abba:
And a FTS:
And an attempt as a FTS, which was overtaken by a 6 lb fuzzball named Spike...she does love her close-ups:
Ta-Da

It's too bad they're about 50 bucks at my Petco...could definitely find a better deal on a bigger tank used. Acrylic scratches so easily, just be careful! By the time I finished with my Eclipse 12 it was full of scratches. These two factors are what kind of put me off from buying it.
