I finally finished the animal room just a few weeks ago. However, I still haven't moved all of the animals into the new space. One of the tanks I had to address was the Blackwater IKEA Riparium. I didn't have proper lighting on that setup since moving it and as a result most of the marginal plant growth didn't flourish. I also felt that I could do something better, so I decided to redo the setup completely. Enjoy!
