I like what you've done with your lipstick collection around the bottom.

Cute!

I'll tell y a wha sucks though is trying to take a pic through a round jar lol itsactually crystal clear tonight but my pics still come out the same lol . I'm up in the air for the top the bowl looks nice in person but it like empty and I'd like to put something in there that could go either around the light or under it like glass fruit. I need to replace the light the heat issues would eventually drive me nuts so it's only on a bit here and there untill I get something small enough for the jar

I'm thinking a invert playground or possibly shrimp/goby pair and some nice zoa's and rics

I'll need to find a heater small enough for under 5g and not ugly looking as it stands the jar stays under 80 and above 76 in the evening

No water test yet just amonia today at 0 will test again in a few days so far because of the bowl I had zero evaporation today and the bowl has a small hole in it where it was a sink for air to exchange

Why not try polished colored crystal rocks around the top in your bowl. Should reflect some light and glow giving a pretty cool effect. Really like your creativeness with this project.

thanks i was bored and while i was at work the other day i found a cool wine glass and figured i would like to do a tiny tank , after looking around i found this giant cookie jar and its around an inch thick lol really clear to look at though. im thinking about in the future making a small led fixture that would fit in the bowl and wouldnt take up much room
