Hey 'Fishtank TV'ers'!  

This is my 14 gallon Aqueon tank.  I got it as a "kit" at PetCo for $50.  Came with hood, lights, 50w submersible heater, and filter system.

I set the tank up with sand for the substrate, and used large rocks for decor with one rock being especially large and hollow for a cave feel.  I also used all silk plants seeing as how I have a Betta. (see pictures)  

I used kordon NovAqua Plus water conditioner, Microbe-Lift Special Blend complete ecosystem in a bottle, and Microbe-Lift Nite-Out 2 Nitrifying Bacteria to kick start my cycle in the tank.  (see picture of all 3) 

Once all levels (ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, pH) were acceptable and remained stable, I added my Betta, George.  A couple of weeks later, I added the two GloFish.  Lastly a few weeks after I added the GloFish, I added 2 Serpae Tetra and 1 Ghost Shrimp.  

Everyone gets along great!

I keep the water nice and warm, usually around 78-80 degrees. I constantly check all levels in the tank with my API Master Test kit, and do a 25% water change every 20-30 days and change the filter cartridge every 30 days as well. (I never do both at the same time) 

Hope you like it! Please give me any and all feedback!

Thanks!
