I am not having any luck taking photos of the tank. They just don't come out well.
The guy gave me a bunch of plants, anticipating some will not make it. I just stuck them in there any old way. Since then, he wrote and said taller plants to the back and sides, and brown leaf plants to the middle area where they will get the most light.
I tested water today and I think the tank is already in good shape. Getting all the plants and gunk from that guy's filter must have really done the trick.
Jonna, the Fluval Spec V is 5 gallons, and it's meant to be in small places. Here is a link to see what it is that I have.
