Planted with water!

Java Moss Ball used the mesh that came off of a bag of rocks from the craft store I saved. 

Used a zip tie then cut the end off. 

For the plants I got these tweezers. 

The base is just a plant saucer and some of this to make it glossy, 

In the gravel I also have root tabs and Flourish Excel

 I still have to do my diy lid. Then in a month or two I will add the ghost shrimp then the betta. :)

Water Test and Heater

Well I have no water leaks around where the spigot is, but the spigot dribbles water. So I put some sealant around the little rubber seal on the inside of the spigot. Even though the spigot is sealed I can still unscrew the spigot off. So going to wait till maybe Sunday again to see if it leaks there. :( More waiting.....

I exchanged the original heater I purchased through Amazon, thanks to Amazon Student Prime they did not even want that heater back. LOL. Anyway I went with this one below, Cobalt Aquatics Neo-Therm Heaters with Plastic LED, 25-Watt

I have it in another glass container now maybe almost 2 gallons, and the water is already heated to 78 degrees. It was not that cheap but it is really thin and not that long. So it really fits perfect in a small tank. It was not cheap, it was $36.38. But I think it was worth it and the betta will be happy.
