Five-Gallon Redo

For your viewing pleasure, a picture diary of my 5-gallon redo:

Old gravel


Good as new


Together, my substrate cost less than $10 from Home Depot


First the dirt goes down


Then some sifted gravel with a plastic pot for a sieve


An idea of the layer thicknesses


Two rocks back-to-back for a centerpiece


Filled with water and a few plants
