After setting this tank up, only for it to leak all over my floor, I’ve got it back to the same stage of completeness.

The tank held the rocks and water overnight. Just finished re-decorating and filling all 55 gallons now. Although a few of the plants didn’t survive their stays in buckets, most did and the rest will be replaced.

I’ve used a bottle of QuickStart bacteria, and included some sand from my 15 gallon. Going to add some ramshorn snails first, to start eating some of the transplant-wilted leaves.

Few more weeks and it’ll be ready for fish.
