I picked it up a few months ago. I did get it on sale, only because they had forgot to change the price on the shelf. I had picked it up, went to the till and they said it was no longer on sale. Well the shelf I went with the employee and, next thing I was walking out with a sale priced tank.

I doubt I would ever had bought it at its original price.

i think id be too scared to run a heater on a thin plastic tank, hasnt melted yet?

Having the heater in that tank is no different than running a heater in the AC500 refugium it came out of. Eclipse acrylic tanks are no thicker (actually thinner) than this tank and heaters do fine in them.

i was always scared of one melting so i just got a glass one built.

Hey ottafocus, great tank!! I don't think the heater would do any damage, those little tanks can take quite a bit. I'll be following your thread (miss my little tank

)

So far nothing had changed with this tank, Im probably going to pick up some sexies if I can find them anywhere.
What do you suggest I drop in there Aquariumgirl?

how about some colorful mushrooms, maybe a blue-legged hermit!! Oh, I know how about a feather duster?

Well I finally decided on an inhabitant for this tank.
I picked up a green mantis shrimp today. He is quite small, I have yet to get a pic of him. So stay tuned.
