I loved seeing Dave's jar aquarium yesterday and remembered seeing his nice tanks and even the jar tank with a ram when I visited his fishroom. So anyway, I thought I'd share my own nano tank with everyone. It's a bit odd in shape - homemade 10x10" and only 6" high and holds about 2.5 gallons of water.
