I haven't been around in awhile so I figured I'd come and post a pic. It took me awhile, but I finally found a tank "substrate" I liked. Petsmart had something they called tank "pearls". A 11.3 kg bag for $7. I grabbed 2 bags, used maybe 1.5 bags for my 29 gallon freshwater. I currently have 3 peppered cories (2 died), 6 guppies (1 male, 5 female), 5 cardinal tetras, 2 female bettas, a blue mystery snail (looks green to me though lol), and my pleco (probably going to have to sell him back unless he stays this small, still under 4 inches).
Anyway, here's my tank.
