   |  Ive gone freshwater!
well sorta.... lol
Its my daughters tank (shes 2). We were at the LFS and she went nuts when she saw this tank, they had it on clearance(left over from xmas) I got it for like $35 with everything. I already upgraded the lights, couldnt do much cause its the standard nightlight sized bulb, but it does come with 5 LED moonlights that is intended for a nightlight which is pretty cool.
Pic with the moonlights 
Pic with the mod'd light, its kinda yellow is in person, the original was red/orange. It still looks reddish cause opt'd for the purple gravel  
Pic with flash so you can see the whole tank. 
Yes, thats the seasame street explorer elmo tank  with optional cookie monster bubbler and the big bird background!
oh yeah, the fish, she picked them out, 3 small tiger barbs. _________ Got Questions? Need Answers?

its a pretty cool system, even came with internal filter with spraybar that really puts out a lot of pressure. All of it except the gravel was on clearance, and they had one left. I let my daughter pick it all out. | |

PS, your even modding a kids tank? | The mod had to be done, lol... It made the tank look reddish orange. I put a soft white nightlight bulb in it and made it a lot "cleaner" looking.
Its a 2.5g tank, forgot to mention that. | |

She flipped when I put the dozen banghaii's in the tank. She was super excited about that, now she has a tank in the living room that she can see anytime she wants. (dont trust her enough to keep it in her room since it has an access hole on top that just flips up) | |
