This thread is for the purpose of documenting the building of my first aquarium. The tank is small but it is as big as I can manage at the moment (being in a cramped dorm and having to transport it over breaks.)

9/12

First day with the tank. Not much to see here, I just included this photo for future reference. Being from a very rural area, WalMart is the closest place that sells aquarium supplies so the tank and gravel are from there. So are the 6 Aponogeton Bulbs I threw in. That is probably a lot but i figure half won't sprout

welcome, yeah those bulbs are neat to look at but I havnt heard of anyone having one of those bulbs develop.

I purchased the same bulbs as you, in the little pack from Walmart

3 out of the 5 in the pack took hold anyway

this is after 3 weeks












I've just tossed the other 2 that never did anything... these little things will just be foreground plants; I'll get some java ferns or something bigger like that for the background
