Im just itching to start up a new tank, so im caving in and startin up my old 10g acryllic tank.

Ill be using a marinelabs bio-wheel, heater, and all that stuff.

Any stocking suggestions???

I'd like to steer away from cichlids, because i have tons of tanks with em, so I was lookin for some community freshwaters

In our community tank, the bleeding hearts and black phantom tetras are my favorite. We also have red minor tetras that are pretty cute too. :P

I actually just set up my 10gal as a temporary home for my two Severums!

crap. Well, somehow the acryllic tank is leaking from the bottom. I cant find a crack or hole anywhere, and its like 2 cm of acryllic, so i guess tomorrow ill get a new 10g with a hood and everything.

oh, by the way, no water damage happened. I noticed a few drips when it was half full, and immediately emptied it.

don't throw it out, though. You could maybe set it up with some other kind of animal in it. A lizard, maybe? something that would be ok with just having a "pond" but obviously you would have the water in a wide bowl or something.
