Sorry for the delay!

The Mini L,





Bought 2 nano tanks today from a LFS (Wetspot Portland, OR), 4g cube & 3.5g (mini s style). Super cheap $$ (i couldn't resist ;), great quality, low iron and high clarity!



Prices at my LFS were lil cheaper compared to online. For those who are interested,

Sorry for the bad pics, using an iphone 5 / editing via instagram (follow www.instagram.com/daizor ^^)

4/11/13 Updates:

Mini L -
Not doing so well, getting a lot of green hair algae and some brown algae on glass, reduced lightning and co2 period from 8hr to 6hr, weekly water changes. If that doesn't work, ill probably try out API Algaefix (currently, there's no live stock in this tank)




The 4g Cube at work -
Its been a month since fill, and the growth has been great.

Live stock: 12 Blue Velvet shrimps and 1 cardinal tetra (had 2 jumpers!)

Ordered a set of 9mm aquaticmagic lily pipes, a few Rotala Colorata and Rotala sp. 'butterfly'.




Got one of my co worker into planted tanks ^_^, his 2.5g mini s style -

4g cube at work:
Nothing much, just added a few Rotala Colorata/Rotala Sp Butterfly in the right back corner, still debating if should leave it or take it out. I kinda like the nice moss carpet only ^^




Bought another TruAqua 4g cube couple days ago for my room, i'm addicted -_-
Not sure what i'm gona do yet, stay tuned!



Thanks for looking!
