1 Gallon Low Tech Collectoritis Tank

aokashi · 01-31-2013, 10:51 PM

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...

The nice side of the carpet

The uprooted side D:

Master of the tank

Azolla with curly roots that gets tangled in EVERYTHING

Photos of it starting off...

Oh and the collectoritis list:

rotala najenshan
rotala mini
+3 other rotalas
mayaca fluviatilis
star grass
staurogen repens
pogostemon erectus
HM
elatine triandra
crypt...sp(?)
peacock moss
limno mini
giant baby tears
bolbitis
azolla
ludwigia...(stray)
riccia (stray)
susswassertang(stray)
+lots of random stray moss

Kuro looks like a flower

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

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

aokashi · 02-05-2013, 02:11 PM

Added some blyxa at the back...
hardly visible in the photo due to the crap quality of vase glass>.>

blyxa

Also added two otos >.>
