So here is the latest iteration. The plants on the right are real, the ones on the left are fake (they came with the tank too). DS is excited that there is
something in the tank.
Does anyone know if it's alright to have a clay pot in there? I don't want it to disintegrate. I put the sword plant in the pot as it seemed to need more substrate than just gravel, so I "borrowed" some play sand from my son's sandbox and put it in the pot. (sssh! don't tell him! ;) ) I rinsed the sand well, and poured boiling water over the sand and the pot too.
Oh, and the plants are, shall we say, less than artistically arranged. I still want to put another bag of (washed!!) gravel in there, but I wanted to get the plants out of their bags and the plastic plants off my kitchen counter.
