I bought a bunch of plants, and the things I need to set up the aquarium and promote algae growth. The petsmart didn't have any daphnia or microscopic organisms to establish the bottom layer of my food chain. I ordered them online, because petsmart only has the dead, freeze dried food version. The most time consuming part of this project was de chlorinating the water. It takes 7 drops of dechlorinator per 1/2 gallon of water, and my tank holds 2 gallons. I could only do a half gallon at a time, because I didn't have a container that could hold more while it was de chlorinating, and it takes 15 minutes to work.
