My water is finally clear after i put sand it it yesterday. The only thing i dont like is my filter is creating a crater in my sand so i need to get a sumbmersible one so it wont do that. But what do you guys think of my set up now.


P.S. Thursday im going to get some fake plants another clip light so i can give him a UVB light and try a different kind of food

The sand looks good. Why don't you increase the water level?

What kind of stand is it now? If it barely supports it now, then a better stand is needed anyway.
