I finally got all the stuff and the tank to set up my upgraded tank that I got for my birthday. I'm quite proud of how it turned out so I wanted to share.

Here's the old 10g setup.

And here's the new tank. It's a 27g. Sorry the pics aren't the best. I still want to get a solid background for the tank so I can see better and cut down on some glare.

The second level is made from one of those grippy/rubbery place mat jobbies and the clear thing going up to it is a plastic dish mat that I rolled up. It looks like a clear cholla. It works for now. I would still like to get some netting though. The plants and levels are held with suction cups. It was fairly cheap since I got most of the stuff at the dollar store (love it for the pets). I love it. So much better and soooo much BIGGER than the 10g.
