Thanks guys! I knew I could count on you, Bill, to chime in!

Limestone ledges sounded cool, but I didn't really expect anyone to say that they would be a good idea. lol! I am no artist, so I will spare you from seeing any drawings having to do with this project. The 20 gallon was decided and I even wrote a nice long reply on this thread, then my internet decided to crash on me. I have a nice lid for the 20 and would have had to purchase a new lid for the extra 10 that I have lying around. I have a lot of supplies already, but I also have a list of needs that is building faster than this build is.

Bill-What species of moss would do good with semi aquatic to total aquatic and a 12 hour light schedule? Oh and cool temps. Moss has never been a plant I have purchased and wrong season to harvest local stuff. Oh and your suggestion on a sub filter for the water...would you say one like your last build???

Steve-Thanks for the input also. My little friend has a nice spacious 10 gallon tank it is currently calling home. I always keep a hospital/quarantine tank laying around for safe measure. The little dude is tiny.
