Well, I must admit I've got the MTS (Multiple Tank Syndrome) :hihi:
This is my second nano:
Specs
Tank: 35*35*45 cms ( 13.78 * 13.78 * 17.72 inches) (4 inches of the longer side are for the filter) All 6mm glass, except for the filter, it's made with 3 mm thick black acrilic pieces
Volume : 10 gallons
Substrate : 1 bag of Seachem's fluorite and some tiny natural gravel (maybe 2 -3 pounds)
Filtration : Modular bult-in filter with ceramic rings, rough sponges, lava rock, floss and an aquaclear sponge to help dissolve co2.
Co2: DIY
Heater : None
Light : 3 15 watt 6,500 K General Electric screw-in fluorescent bulbs
Ferts: Potassium Nitrate and Fluorish Excel 3 times per week.
W/C's : 50% Once a week (tap water) EI method? ... kinda... I've read Tom Barr's articles and I wanted to try something like that, my other nano and the 82 gal are low-tech.
Plants : Hemianthus Micrantemoides, Micranthemum Umbrosum, Alternanthera Reineckii Rosaefolia, Hydrocotyle Verticillata, Glossostima Elatinoides and Lilaeopsis Mauritiana, all plantas are Tropica species.
Fish : 2 Otocinclus (sp?) 9 Harlequin Rasbora
Snails : I've seen two Ramshorns and 1 pond snail until now.
Decoration : 3 black lava rocks and 2 small pieces of Driftwood.
Canopy & Stand are yet to be made, but I will do it as soon as I can.
Well, here are the pics :
