[Spreewell]

First Hi!
This my first nano, and i think my design and photography is very bad... I used java moss on "moss wall " and a rock.

Plants :

• Rotala Rotundifiola
• Hemianthus Micra
• Java Moss
• Elodea (For short time...)

Equipmets :

• SunSun Filter
• 50 watt Risheng heather
• 20 watt light
• DIY CO2

Substrate :

• Black Quartz Sand

Fertilizer :
For now only DeepFloramin Fe

Photos :








I have some questions about this tank :
* I want use hemianthus micras as carpeting plants. That's possible?
* This nano is good for shrimps?
*What is your comment about design?
* Cubas are can live in this tank?
Sorry for my bad English...

Thanks for comments

I think its a good design. It WILL work for keeping shrimp (and probably breeding too). the micras...I have no clue haha. Oh and your camera skills are great (better than mine I can't stay still...) Good Luck!

Thanks for your good comment

I think you should try some DHG or HC as a carpet plant in that tank. It seems like all those plants look quite similar. Also what is the blue thing connecting to airline tubing? is it an air stone?

Can you take a full tank shot? How big is your tank? But looks nice.

No I can't. Unfortunately my tank was cracked. I did a new tank for it. I think this will be better than before...

Thank you for comment

All things are same. Only design is different. I added a cryptocoryne wendtii tropica in this design...

Hey i could not choose fertilizer for this tank for it i have new questions :

1-) Tablet fertilizer or liquid fertilizer?
2-) If you will say liquid which one in this options :
*Azoo Plant Nutrients:


*JBL Ferropol 24


* JBL Ferropol Liquid Plant Fertilizer


* Percell Plant Booster


* Prodac Nutron Flora


If your choose tablet fertilizer what is your proposal?

[Overgrowth]

You should use both liquid and tablet fertilizers. Seachem Flourish comprehensive aquarium plant supplement and Seachem Flourish root tabs are good IME.

[Spreewell]

Okey i will buy Seachem for liquid fertilizer. I can make DIY fertilizers for tablet...

I think your newer tank is easier to maintain since you have more room for your hands to work with.
