Featured is J&H's 12G Long

12 Gallon Long Rimless Club
(Mr. Aqua or GLA)

Hi! As I have discussed with a few fellow members with 12 gallon long tanks, it would be nice to have a thread dedicated to just 12 gallon long tanks. Its basically a thread dedicated to our small 12G long community in hopes of keeping it always exciting and drawing new interests everyday. This thread is open for ideas, questions, suggestions, etc. as a whole. Whether you already have a 12G long, looking for ideas how to design it, or simply thinking to get one, I want this thread and its members to help you in whichever way possible :biggrin:

Goals:
* Have your very own community focusing on 12G longs.
* Learn, inspire, share & support (Remember it as L.I.S.S).
* Give RAOK(s) from your very own 12G tank(s) for newcomers or to those in need when you have extra.
* Have fun! This is what it is all about ;)

Your Support Needed!: Link to our club by adding the pre-setup link below to your signature box. Just copy & paste to your signature box.

Ive added some plants and a few fish will get some better photos soon and update! Can anyone identify these two plants, I should have paid attention when purchasing, basically just asked for low growing low tech plants, I think the foreground is glosso and the plant in the bg is type of grass... will get some better photos soon

I'm sold on this tank. I'm going to do a classic iwagumi setup with seiryu stone, DHG (deciding between regular, mini, belem, or a mix), and HC. I'd like to stick with medium to medium-low (30-50 PAR?) rather than high lighting (mostly for the fish, which won't have much shade in this setup). What LED lighting will work for this? Current Satellite LED+ is a lot of PAR on such a shallow tank... Any nice lights out there with lower output? Some kind of light cycle would be good too.... (my dream light for this setup would be a 36" Finnex 24/7 that allowed you to dim the max, but keep the 24/7 cycle on...)

My most recent project

About 6 months in the making. Started around beginning of June 2015 :hihi:

Tank: 12G Low Iron
Stand: IKEA
Dosing: None
Filter: None
Light: FugeRay

The idea is to have enough plant mass that it doesn't need a filter. Just bi-weekly water change of 1 gallon to keep the water clean. The Mini Pellia in this tank grew from a few patches to about enough to cover a large dinner plate right now. 6 months of growing, plucking and replanting here and there :grin2: Very easy for me to maintain at the moment. I would have a thicker HC patch on the right side but a 2 week vacation, my mister died and they dried out. This is what's bouncing back from a 90% wipe-out :crying:

Lovely set up! I'd be curios about your air humidity around the tank/that room. Are you using clear fishing line to train up the taller green stems?

Thank you. I don't measure humidity, but it should be relatively high because the mister is on whenever the light is on so it doesn't dry out. I am using fishing lines to hold up the light. Didn't intend for the stems to use it like that but I guess it just kept growing so it works out well in the end :)
