*****
So yesterday I acquired my first nano tank, a 5 gallon fluval chi!
First order of business was removing the filter holder.
I have no room anywhere in my apartment (with a 20 gallon and a 55 gallon), so this baby is going to sit right here on my desk. Don't mind the clutter.
I had this ryuoh stone laying about, so I decided it would by put into my nano.
I also have a bunch of ADA aquasoil, so in it goes.. and...
Front view
Side view
Hardscape? I am not totally sure. I was aiming for a cliff side type of thing.. not too sure if I achieved that effect. This is my first actual aquascape!
To come:
I plan on dry starting an HC carpet in the front. I also have to buy a 10" finnex fixture. And a filter.
I do have two AC20's around, so I'll probably use one of those in the mean time.
I plan on doing a DIY CO2 setup, which I already have running on my 20 gallon.
Planned planting:
HC
Blyxa japonica
DHG (perhaps)
Willow moss (undecided).
Stocking:
Shrimp (probably cherry)
Maaaaybe a betta. Maybe.
Please give me your opinions/criticisms/recommendations!
