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 ;D


Pic with flash so you can see the whole tank.


Yes, thats the seasame street explorer elmo tank with optional cookie monster bubbler ;D and the big bird background!

oh yeah, the fish, she picked them out, 3 small tiger barbs.

 

Well, at least she is starting early! By the time she's 5 she'll be runnin a reef tank! Grats to your daughter on getting you to "Cave in"! Really cool tank for a youngster.

 

I love Cookie Monster!

 

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.

 

How cute! You'll have to post a picture of her enjoying the tank for us some day!

 

Dude, that beats my 1 gal teletubby "TV Tummy Tank", JK. Its nice when they get in it young, and i agree with froc3, just wait until she wants corals and a 150 watt DE over it....

PS, your even modding a kids tank?

 

she hasnt seen it set up yet

we came home and then they went out again while I was working on it.

Im going to try to get a pic of her when she first see's it.

 

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.

 

I can't wait to see the look on her face!

 

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)
