Hi all,

Just wanted to share some photos of my 24 gallon Nanocube. It's been up and running now for about 2 months now. I have about 20 endlers in there as well as 2 khuli loaches.

i'm unsure of the parameters, as I've never tested unfortunately. I just added the CO2 three nights ago and the plants are pearling like crazy!

All that said, I'd really like some suggestions here. As you can see, most of my plants here are low-light; i.e. java moss, crypts, ferns, etc. tried some val, but virtually all of it melted except for the one that's stuck in the overflow grill :icon_roll . What would you all suggest for this tank?

Thanks for the comments!

Mike

you forgot the pics =]

Aaaah, is there anyway to upload the photos?

 

[typically]

you can use photobucket.com it's free and give you the code to post the pics in here

 

[aeternum23]

Oh my, how embarassing. I'll have to post the pics later, thought I could just insert them!

24gal is a nano?

it's all good. photobucket can resize them too if you click the advance option under the upload button. it's nice if you don't know much about photo editing

Here's a full shot of the tank

Here's a shot at the cabinet. Just enough room for a 5 lbs. CO2 kit

A picture of the glass pollen CO2 diffuser I picked up from Aqua Forest Aquarium (my new favorite LFS)

Shot of the left rear of the tank. These crypts came from my 6 year old tank, not sure what type, anyone know?

Here's the right side of the tank. I need to spend some time tying down that ball of moss. Can someone confirm that that's Java moss?

Unidentified plant. Any know what it might be? Just popped up one day and is growing...very slowly.

Thanks again for checking out the pics. If any one can give me suggestions regarding layout and other plants, please do let me know!

Ow, sorry guys, I should've cropped it . And these pictures are terrible! I need a tripod or something.

that last pic looks like flame moss and glosso. I could be wrong though.

I'm going to go with Crypt parva as the mystery plant in the last picture.

 

[Nightshop]

ugh, your moss is beautiful!

Heh, isn't aquaforrest awesome? At least you don't have to drive 65 miles to get there! Arg!

I think the tank is beautiful and the only it needs is a foreground plant and some thing fill in the left back corner.

 

[aquarium boy]

no i dont think its javamoss it looks more like taiwan moss.
heres a pic from aquaspot world to give you an example.

Looks like java to me. People underestimate how pretty Java can be.

Thanks for the comments all . I've got about 3 watts/gallon, which I believe is in the low-mid range for lighting. Does anyone think that glosso or riccia will stick to the bottom with that type of wattage?

 

[dweebikus]

riccia won't stick to the bottom period, you'll have to anchor it.

 

[aquarium boy]

wow 3 watts per gallon on that thing is alot. you could most likely grow anything you wanted with that kind of light lol. but like the guy above me said riccia has to be anchored to something were as glosso doesnt. i dont remember if i said it or not in my last post but nice tank.

 

[aeternum23]

Really? 3 watts per gallon is a lot? I kinda figured it'd be a bit lacking for hight-light plants. As for the riccia, I might go with glosso instead. I like to have the lawn-like plants rooted to the substrate.

holy snails! they cause any problems? looks nice.
