Finally persuaded my husband to let me have a tank in the bedroom..

Couldn’t pass up the price of the IM 20 especially with it fitting exactly where I needed it too.

Using equipment I have on hand as much as possible:
Tank: IM 20
Stand: Amazon ‍♀️
Light: Kessil A360x
Temp: Eihm and Inkbird
ATO: Duetto 2

Rock has been broken down and template made to figure out an aquascape!

I always think making an aquascape is basically trusting as you go that it will end up looking like something :)

Next step putting the light up..
which went incredibly smoothly for me haha

Although my next thought process (for some reason I didn’t think of the chord being black and on show) i need to come up with an idea for hiding as much cable as I can!
