After keeping 30cm nano cubes and losing 2 bettas, decided to upgrade up to the biggest tank I could fit on my desk, a 60p. Weekly maintenance on my original 30cm all-in-one cube was also getting tiring so figured a bigger tank would be easier to care for in the long run. Since I'm definitely stuck in the hobby after almost a year, decided to invest in an ADA tank.
Gear so far:
Tank: ADA 60p (W60cm x D30cm x H36cm)
Filter: UNS Delta60
Light: Chihiros WRGB2 Slim 60
Substrate: ADA Amazonia v2 soil
Hardscape: Lava rock and Dark Forest wood
The only way I could fit the tank on my desk was in a peninsula layout in between my wife's and my desk. We only have IKEA tabletops so I had to fortify them a little before I started, I talked about it in this post.
The theme I wanted to go with was autumn. There are a lot of lovely red plants in the hobby so I wanted to try and play with the contrast of red and green to make it look autumn-ey. I'm going to try and make the reds a little more orange via tannins.
Some inspo for the theme (images not mine):
