Well, just to make the story short, my dad decieded it would be good for the tank to get more natural sunlight or whatever, so, he thought moving the whole thing (with everything in it, rock, sand, water, etc) outside would help. :confused:
So basically that roasted everything during the day, and it got pretty cold at night. There weren't any fish in there, just some plants and cool little rock nems. Did I mention he put it out there for a couple days?

Nems bombed the tank, I had to take out the rock, put it in the sun, take out most of the sand, plants were goners, so I'm kinda starting over I guess. I cleaned it out, added some sand from my 20gal, mixed new sw, added rock from my 20gal and the 2 pieces that were in this tank (cleaned of course).
Right now they're just a powerhead in there for some flow, I'm still planning on added more rock, I'm just not sure on the aquascape yet. I will also add in some more sand.

No update pics cause the tank is still pretty cloudy from the sand

Update :D
I aquascaped the tank today, it's ok, I'll probably mess with it again in the future since I only took about 5 min to set this up.
And it's not really a "minimal" aquascape anymore lol
(sorry about the cloudiness, I stirred up the sand a bit)

Here's some clearer pics, although today, even though I like this scape, I need more room on the sandbed, so I'm going to have to take out a few things :(
