The big news is that the glass 2.5g cracked. It turns out the leaking from the top wasn't coming from a lack of silicon, but small cracks in the front top corners. That gave me a slight panic on Sunday night when the tiny cracks turned into giant cracks that become separate pieces of glass upon lifting.
So I had to make a quick trip to Petsmart as it's closer. Their 2.5g were $15. I knew that Petco's 10g's were also $15. You can guess which one I chose.
Here's what I came home with:
After 2 hours of scrapping with a razor blade (I have many scars on my fingers after this BTW)
Threw the some spare rocks, Flourite, sand, and driftwood in it:
Day after
Front:
Side:
Back:
Tonight (Still a little foggy):
I think this is my best looking tank.
I'm still messing with the lights as you can see they are a little messed up, crooked, etc, in the pic. They are hung from the ceiling via tiny 4ft chains. They are the same 100 watt equivalent, 26 actual watt, 6500k CF with the generic polished lighting fixtures from Lowes. They worked pretty well on the plastic 2.5g so I got them for this tank too.
The afternoon before this fiasco happen I had bought some what I believe to be indigo. They were cheap and pretty so I thought they were worth a shot. I was planning on rescaping the 2.5g that broke with them. We shall see how they do.
With all of this rescaping and tank breaking the plant growing tank is really full.
