1.5 Gallon Cube Pico Tank

[Edd29]

Greetings all!

I have been lurking this website for a while now, and figured I should share my pico cube. I started this tank in the beginning of April 2014, and have changed a few things over the months. I believe I have finally set the tank exactly how I wanted. I am still new to the hobby and learning from my mistakes, so feel free to comment.
