Reintroducing my 20g

[CassCats]

resealed a 20 gallon long, so i swapped out my 20 high for it...

I'm happy with it!

Nice! I like 20 longs better too, I have one 20 long which has the same foot print as my 29 gallon tanks but is so much easier for me to work in.

It looks really good!

How high is your 20 gallon long?

Resealing it was a task.
Pardon the clutter lol living room table was my work desk.

It was our neighbors tank for their bearded dragon, but she outgrew it. So they got her a new bigger tank, but gave me this one to reseal (was completely NOT watertight at all).

You can see the old 20 tall in the background.

Stripped all the old seals off. Got so many blisters from the razorblade.

To keep my lines clean

All sealed and set to cure for 48 hours

Water clearing up!

I was just thinking, maybe you could add some red plants to balance the green of the fish?

The crypt wendtii has red tones. I stick with Asian or cosmopolitan species of plants for this tank since its mostly an Asian biotope (minus the pygmy cories lol)

Love the black seal - much better than clear IMO. (Surprisingly...)

It cost a bit more than the clear seal, but wayyyyy better.
