My second Nano (56 K W) (2 more pics added 11/15/06)

Hi guys.

*Joe* The first pic is a ramshorn, the second is a pond snail, both species are good algae and decaying matter eaters, usually some eggs come as hitchhickers in new plants.

*Bigstick120* The only thing I would change, could be the Althernanthera Reineckii, I'd prefer some other red/pinkish smaller plant like Pogostemon stellatus, Rotala macrandra or Limnophila aromatica, but I couldn't find those species.

*Hoppy*

It looks like this idea can be used on almost any rectangular tank that is big enough so the powerhead compartment isn't to big a percentage of the remainder of the tank and filter compartments

Yes, in fact I'm debating to build a bigger one, maybe a 20*20*20 for my mother-in-law using the same kind of filtration

I hope you set up a Nano and join us

I appreciate everybody's input in this thread, it's great to now what you think about my tanks.

*Off-Topic P.S.* Bigstick, I'm a big fan of the Steelers too !

Hi guys, I added 2 more pics





I decided to change the DIY co2 for Fluorish Excel, the growth is slower, but the excel is helping a lot to prevent algae.

This is pretty awesome, I love the filter setup you have. I wonder how much of a pain it would be to do a similer setup but make part of that back area a sump or something where you could put small bog type plants or something.
I think the only thing I don't especially like is how light the substrate is but part of that is probably your good lighting
