FrozenFins Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 I purchased this new 5 gallon aquarium which sits perfectely on my bedside table! Heres what I'm thinking for the setup: Pre-Cycled Spongefilter Fluval P Series Heater CaribSea Eco-Complete Black Hygger 24/7 Clip on I want to use lots of plants trimming from other aquariums in this tank. Bacopa Trimmings Cyptocoryne Undulatus Red Trimmings Amazon Frogbit Trimmings Anubias Nanna Petitte Alteranthera Reineckii Green Trimmings Alteranthera Reineckii Minni Thoughts about keeping this plant? anyt tips? a little nervous to try. Staurygne Repens For hardscape some cholla wood. I was inspired by MD Fishtanks "Shrimp Playground" build with his cholla wood use. I wanna put a betta in this tank. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atomicfish Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 Hmm for just a betta a 5 gallon should be fine but the smaller the tank the harder it is to keep it healthy. I would go no smaller than that. If you would want anything else I would upgrade to at least a 10 or even better a 20. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used a planter to keep it near the light and it did great for me. When I moved it lower it started not doing well. Bso defined intense light. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 Excited for you! Quick question, is the price on that Hygger LED right? I use Hygger pretty much exclusively due to the quality vs. price point and a small LED like that is very high-priced for that brand. I would expect something in the 18 to 24 dollar range for Hygger. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's about $30usd ($38cad) on Amazon.com but $70cad($50usd) on Amazon.ca. I'm from Canada so I will be ordering from Amazon.ca so I don't have to worry about duty fees.
