Oh nn not another tank!

So friday a set up a 130gallon tank for a client. I stopped by one of the many LFS (super pets) to grab some last minute items. and on my way out I saw out of the corner of my eye this rimless pico cube. What cought my eye was the lighting. It was clean looking and bright LED. After saying to my self no more new tanks, my hand trembled as I grabbed the little box. The price was $23 and I said SOLD! Oh well I am the proud owner of another tank .
This is the Marina Cubus. It is a 0.9 gallon rimless tank with a white clip on LED fixture. It comes with a clear plastic lid with a round hole for a betta to be able to breath. The tank has a matching white base that elevates the tank from the ground. I think its a cool little feature. Anyway here are some picture.

Tank looks cool. So, you are going to use this for a betta?

And I thought this was an isolated case

I think I have to get one too, it will make a great shrimp picotope. What I like is the size and the LED light feature!

I am going to make a trip down to Temple City at the end of this week, and I plan to pick one up. I want to stop by A+ Fish Store too, what type of shrimp are they sell right now?

I think these LED light are enough to grow low light plants with, I will let you know otherwise. I already have a scape in mind, thanks a lot for showing me this tank....I will get you back for this

I will probably be down there on Friday around noonish. I wanted to try blue berry shrimp but I guess I can set it up for fire reds.
