6 swordtails (originally 5 lang sila, nanganak yung female)
700 l/hr sea quest powerhead + overhead filter box
10 watts ReSun Flourescent (Im planning to get a UVB set-up for my bigger tank)
60 watts incandescent lamp (heatlamp)

Very pretty turtle

And are you sure thats a 10 gallon?

Sure looks bigger

Thanks... Yup! It's a ten gallon tank... just took a really close shot of it.

Wow, it looks like you set up the tank really well. Just be careful that the rocks can't fall over.

They're quite secured... but i still check everyday. Chief is still too small to topple it down. Im planning to buy a bigger and permanent tank and try to make an above tank basking area. This 10g wouldn't be his home for long... thanks for the comment...

I found a piece of driftwood from a petstore. So i removed a lot of rocks giving the tank a lighter weight and my RES a bigger swimming space. I was also able to raise the water level by an inch...

That's great!! Looks a lot more secure than the rocks.
