1 Gallon Low Tech Collectoritis Tank
 

I just trimmed down my 1 gallon betta tank. The problem I've been having with the HM is that accidentally pulling up one node will uproot an entire system of HM :/ so the "carpet" looks like it's been turned upside down and inside out... I'm hoping it will settle down again soon T_T

Plants tend to stunt in here... which suits my purposes fairly well...

Thanks XD he's my one and only fish and brought me this far in the aquarium hobby :3 I hope I will give him a good life until the end XD

Wow, your tank is AWESOME!! And that betta!
Where'd you get you azolla?? I looked it up and really want some!
All my tanks are kinda collectoritis..I can't help it! Gotta catch em all! LOL.

Kuro looks like a flower :D

Wonderful tank! Lucky fish.. I'd live in it ;)

What filter are you running? Also, what lighting do you have to sustain all of that?

Haha, thank you.
I got the azolla off an awesome tpt member acitydweller, who is local :)
I'm adding blyxa to my tank tomorrow >.> one more plant to the collection!
We need a plantedex ;)

Btw this is totally off topic... but I have a Rhode Island Red hen back in Australia :D

XD he was hunting for blackworms i think...

I'm running an azoo mignon 60/redsea nano/ deep blue nano (they're almost all identical) and a 23a 6500k cfl. :)
here's a pic of the light, it's shared between two tanks
