I got a hardscape layout here:

Any comments?

I got some idea for plants here

Update:

I bought some plants:

Rotala rotundifolia
Hemianthus callitrichoides ''Cuba''
Microsorum pteropus windeløv
Anubias barteri var. nana
Vesicularia dubyana.

I couldent wait - so i just bought the closest i got to my plans --- For now!

Microsorum pteropus windeløv tied to my root.

I bought some Amano shrimps, and they will soon be joining the tank

Very nice. How much did you spend on the tank and canopy?

Holly cow that is really a nice tank. I would have to be really ambitious to build that thing. The lay out if the plants will look great except the plant right behind the sticks I dont think it will be necessary with that moss wall and all. If you were to have something I would think something redder. One question how will you clean the filter does that pump come out fairly easy. I cant wait to see it all filled in. keep the updates coming.

WOW!!! That's a nice looking nano. It looks a lot bigger because of the driftwood. It's really coming along nicely. Congrats on your wonderful homemade tank

Mad props for putting in all the work you did for your nano! Turned out great and I'd love to see how it turns out!

Pjerrot, after seeing the whole plan and the finished product I must say that you did an Excellent job. The nano looks great. How about building some and selling them? Mass Production = $$$

Anti-Pjerrot · 04-28-2006, 05:37 PM

hehe - dont think people in Denmark appreciate them like we do

I think the total cost for the tank, canope and filter was $50-60. A lot of the stuff (glass and polycarbonate) was free, and I didnt spend any money on tools... (Big saving!!!)

For the root and the the substrate fertilizor, i spent ~ 20$

The only real cost was the bulb and the pump

Simply beautiful. I can't wait to see it planted.

Very nice, cant wait to see your next DIY project, a hood with a hole for driftwood? ;-)

Serious though, nice planting ideas and i hope the moss wall works. Generally very impressed with the filter.

Anti-Pjerrot · 05-01-2006, 09:49 PM

The CO2 is going nuts - theres lots of pearling

jeffboyarrdee · 05-05-2006, 09:02 AM

hey
is that a grating in the back? i dont know if your amano shrimp will escape wen they climb up it...but thats how i lost all mine =( keep an EYE OUT and tell me how it goes...your tank is absolutley awesome!

Anti-Pjerrot · 05-05-2006, 01:53 PM

No shrimps yet - Co2 level is over 100ppm

Im starting to see some hair algee - due to too long hours of light (my timer broke)

Im cutting back on light to 6 hours.
Im waiting for my fertilisers - so i can start making some pmdd - or dry dosing...

Im thinking of adding some more stemplants - just to get better balance - wrong of met not to do that from the start...
