Looking good there Alphy! Can you bring your digital camera by my house when you pick up the pellia this weekend. I would like to add my nanos to this thread but our camera is broke.
Thanks everyone! This idea of a planted tank has me very excited to try it. Yesterday I bought a few small plants for my other betta tank to see if I can learn to grow them before I get the NC's. This tank is very small..has a 9 wt daylight bulb, and gets a little sun for about an hour or so through the window.
Here's mine. Kind of a mess at the moment. Eco-complete is my substrate, and I have duckweed floating, 2 13W PCs, a Penquin 100 or 150? Bio-wheel, diy CO2. I am switching over to an AC 20 over the next couple of weeks.
Here's my latest attempts. 5.5 Gallons with a bow-front, and constantly being rearranged :icon_lol:
First real nano I've done, and it's still in progress (I have a few more plants on the way). This was put together with stuff from petcetera, and cost me about $45 total (excluding fish and filter, which I already had).
Agreed! Beautiful tanks everyone, thanks for sharing. Any specs on the tanks would be awesome too! Maybe if we can get everyone to post they might consider making this a sticky.
See my signature, go to page 2 for latest pictures (but it's changed a bit since last post). I have dwarf hairgrass and glosso + malaysian trumpet snails that came with the plants for free.
Sweet, look at all the new tanks posted. Loving your cube John, and I like the new one you are getting. That's a pretty good price. Please post as you set it up. Any plans yet what you will keep in it? FWIW I have 13 wts of T-5 over my 4 gal, and I am having great luck.Though it does get a bit extra from a 20 wt light I have on the windowsill, and the sun for a bit in the morning.My other 4 gal tank has 18 wts of PC's, and though it is doing well..it isn't as pleasing to the eye.
