Hey there fellow aquascapers and hello from Hungary! 🙂
My name is Laci and I live in Gyál, near to Budapest with my SO and our son.
My english skills are really bad, but i want to polish it, so i decided to write a journal on this forum. So feel free to correct me if i write stupid things! 🙂
Aaaand to get to the point here is my new nano tank! It will be a shrimp only aquarium with neocaridina davidii black sakura and maybe some algae eater snails. Here are the specs:
Aquaruim: 42x29x20 (cm) ~ 24 Litres (I saved it from the garbage at a house clearance, it was a hamster cage maybe 😀)
Lighting: IKEA desk lamp with 11W 6500K PC bulb
Filtration: 280 L/h internal filter with sponge and spray bar
Substrate: reused Aquatic Nature Shrimp Soil
Decoration: river sand from Fehérvárcsurgó, (green) granite rocks, red moor
Fertilization: Dr. Garden Micro combi
Co2: Liqui carbo (liquid stuff like easy carbo but it contains K too)
Vater: tap water (~20 Gh 😱) with seachem prime
Flora: microsorum pteropus trident, anubias nana petite, fissidens fontanus, hemianthus micranthemoides
Fauna: nothing yet, but i want black sakura shrimp and some algae eater snails
The empty glass
I lifted (is that term correct?) the substrate with a granite rock and some lava rock grit.
The early version of the hardscape
The almost final base with the sand.
And the final hardscape. I had to take out some roots because they didn't sink yet.
The microsorum and the anubias is in!
Fully planted and ready to fill it with water.
And with water! A bit opalescent because of the dust and the bacteria, it needs a few days and water changes. 🙂
I hope it will grow nice ang algae free and full with shrimps!
Thanks for reading!
