it's still not perfectly clean i've been working on it for quite some time. there used to be fish in this tank and good god did they ever make a mess! Considering it's almost midnight now I've decided to take a break and see what the filter will do from here

Now I used to have gravel in there but I absolutely HATE cleaning up through gravel even with a gravel vaccuum! it is such a pain in the butt that I'm actually now using plastic leaves Not all of the leaves are in there just yet because I'm starting out small to see how they'll work, if they end up being a good idea i'll add the mother load ^-^
