So my upcoming projects:
I hae a 10 gallon with 2 female bettas, 2 ottos, and an unsusscessful Iwagumi layout. I am going to set up a 5 1/2 gallon, using that gravel and stones, and get some dwarf hairgrass action to try and get something a little more Iwagumi-ish, then add a little bit of ludwegia and transfer the bettas to that. Then, I am going to take some Awesome hunks of raw Beryl from the rock collection Papa Joe left me (ranging between the size of a cigarette pack and the size of three fists) and take another crack at going iwagumi with that 10 gallon. I'll set that up in Mrs. Hat's classroom with the ottos and about 15 neons.

With that done, I'll be able to move my over/under Iron stand with the 20 and the 25 to where the 10 gallon was and, this is the fun part, 4' long Tanganyika tank. I've thrashed it out on aquariacentral and with the guy at the LFS. I have a 33 and a 55 to choose from. Either is going to get a big stack of granite scraps at one end, a sort of a canyon full of Valisnera along the back, some marine live-sand for quick cycling and a big old shell field (though I might futz about with the rock-stack in the middle and shell fields to either side. Going to get some julies for the stack and some shellies (Prob'ly Lamprolous stappersi, maybe sunspot brevis for the other side if I go that route.) for the shell field(s).
