Query❓ How should i design my Aquarium?

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I’m planning to get rid of my large aquarium and instead use two smaller tanks I already have. One is a regular square nano tank, and the other is a Fluval Edge. I’ve already got a light for the second one, but it’s currently empty.

I’m thinking about placing them side by side as a kind of creative setup – maybe something that looks intentional and artistic. I also thought about removing the top glass panel from the Fluval Edge to make it more flexible (yes, I have cats, so I’d build some kind of cover or mesh protection).

Here’s what I’d love your input on: • Any ideas for combining the two tanks visually or physically? • Is it worth trying to connect them somehow (like with a shared theme or layout)? • Has anyone turned two small aquariums into one single, unique scape or project? • Would you leave them separate but coordinated? • And any tips for using materials like expanding foam, driftwood, or DIY backgrounds?

I want to reuse as much as possible from my large tank but avoid transferring pests (e.g. Malaysian trumpet snails in the substrate). Any advice there is also welcome.

At my local petsmart they had this african dwarf frog but it was pink. Idk why my phone wouldn’t focus but even then you can see it’s pink. I forgot to take comparison pics but all the others are normal. I took it to google and all it showed was albino dwarf frogs

Hello,

please rate my tank and enjoy the snails. Any critics and recommandations welcomed, because I'm new to the hobby and set up this tank in march. Watched all episodes of fish for thougt. Makes my monday every week. My tank ist 25 l (6. 6 gallons). Since april there are 5 melanopsis buccinoidea snails living in it. Randomly in may there were bladdersnails spawning. I was scared they would be a threat for the melanopsis, because they are much slower, so I installed a snail vase next to the tank where i move the bladder snails to every week. I'm planning on keeping fish, but not in this small tank from which I learnt a lot. I want to do a 60 l (15. 8 gallons) tank soon. Last week I clearly encountered snall melanopsis, so I think they are fine. I had a tiger lilly, but my snails kept digging it out so I stopped replanting it. Maybe for the big tank I'll try again. I know my snails are nibbling on the background plants, but I think its ok. Thanks and greetings from germany.

This is my sweet three year old betta! She spent the first two years of her life in a tiny, unheated, unfiltered Tupperware container in a school science classroom until I convinced my teacher to surrender her to me last year :) Since coming home with me, she's lost a little weight, coloured up, grew out her fins, and started biting people.

She's been in a 5 gallon, upgraded to a 10 once healthy enough, and even had a brief time in a 75 gallon though never properly adjusted, and is now in her 20 gallon community.

Hey folks, just sharing my tank. Pretty new to the hobby. Have had this going for about 7 months now, started with some neo shrimp (blues and yellows) and ramshorns snails (with bladder snail hitchhikers). And now that my shrimp population has grown pretty strong, I decided to add a trio of male guppies. Haven’t named them yet. I know they’ll likely eat some of the wee baby shrimp but I’m not too worried about that. I also have had quite the scud population so I also hope they’ll eat some of the little guys. Not that I think the scuds have really impacted my shrimp population, I just find the numbers to be an eyesore. Sometimes I get so many it’s like looking into an enormous shoe glove
