I recently set this tank up a few weeks ago. Today I added additional Hc which is why it looks a little strange.

Tank: ADA Mini m
Light: ADA Aquasky
Filter: ADA Vuppa, AquaClear 20
CO2: ADA System with Do!aqua Music Glass 15D
Ferts: ADA Brightly K, Green Brightly Step 2, Seachem Flourish Excel
Substrate: ADA Aqua Soil

Plants-
Hemianthus callitrichoides
Dwarf Hairgrass
various Rotala's

Nice start, it will awesome once the HC Cuba fills in. Do you see any difference using a ADA Vuppa on a smaller tank? Is surface scum that bad?


What headphones are those in the back? Looks like Steel Series v2 but they're not. What base is it on? I got Audio Techina M50 myself, haha sorry about a non tank question.

Actually, I started the tank with just the vuppa like some of the ADA videos but it didn't work out very well. It does keep the surface clean but with such a small tank you have to constantly add water or change the height of the vuppa.

The headphones are AKG K701, the base was included with the headphones.

Its works great. I thought about making my own but this looks better and is more compact than anything I could have made. The only thing that could be better is the stand, it feels really fragile.
I prefer the look of my solar 1 metal halide but the aquasky runs much cooler.

Those plants look cool. Very nice equipment too.

Very beautiful, I have seen those ADA videos too, where they only use the Vuppa as filtration in the Mini M, S and 30c etc. I know the Vuppa chamber has bio cube in it, do you think you could squeeze a bag of purigen in there if you removed some of the biocube? in between the two strainer plates?

Also, a journal on your 60p would be cool.

You might be able to fit half of the smallest bag of purigen, even then it would be a tight fit.

I took my 60p down since it had some algae problems.

Here it was in June looking pretty good, except for the mohawk of bba on the drop checker.


But then I picked up a Solar 1 and Super Jet ES-600, so I decided to change the layout. I didn't do a very good job with setting up again which then let to algae issues.

Your 60p looked nice! Is it down right now? Do you think you will set it up again in the future?

Yeah, I took it down. Once I graduate I will set it up again.

i like the tank. lots of color.

there has to be a way to make the CO2 tubing stick out less. maybe move one of those suction cups higher?
