Thank you again everyone! I still don't think its contest ready quite yet... neither is my photography! I need a few more plants and for them to grow in and a background and new heater.... but first this update! We (my g/f and I) painted the new parts of the desk and it looks great! I did the priming and she did the wood grain.
She is awesome!
A comparison to the ikea laminate.
All put together.
Now that was half the project, I still have to make the light top over the tank and I am still thinking about how I want to do that. I have a few ideas.
Now of course since its all together I can't help but look at the space and say, " Hmmmm, a 20G high would fit perfectly here and fill this square nicely..." The square is 27"W x 27"H x 15"D so if I did do that hang on back filter choices would either be limited or impossible but its ohh so tempting.
In the actual tank(s) business; I still have the otos in the QT (now on the top of the furniture) I was going to put them in early but I guess what you said Pik01 and my better judgment won over my excitement. The moss in the QT isn't doing all that well but its still living, it could be that the light it gets doesn't look as good to me as the main tank though. If the water conditions start going bad or it dies more I will be concerned right now I am just watching it. In the 10G all is well, the Guppy Grass is growing alot of roots down which I kinda like, lets me know that its doing well. The snail has gotten alot bigger but is shy and I haven't seen it for 2 days but it does that.
She is awesome!
