Hi, It's been a very long time since my last post here or thread here. Basically I got a cube, led lighting (8000k), a decent substrate, pressurized CO2 and a crap filter... doesn't matter, it's gonna be useful, and that's why it is there... 2 months ago: Today's pics. the plant list...

We are speaking about a country that's it's near bankrupt, or already bankrupt.... people are starving, you can't live anymore, and your bloody money it's enough for even taking your son to MacDonald's to have an happy meal.... That's sad, but it's the reality in Portugal....

I thought on returning to Uk buddy, but money wise Switzerland will always be Switzerland, and I still got some responsabilities in Portugal, that I couldn't afford if was in UK, and that's the main reason I came to here. Be able to have a decent life and afford to pay my dues there....

Hi Neil, I ordered it here in Portugal... a small square of 4x4 cm cost me around 5£ one year ago. This nano it's on cruise control now. No problems, just WC and add a little bit of ferts one time per week... it couldn't be better.

Hi, Some pics to update after a month....

Olá Paulo, No babies yet mate, but I got one berried CRS female and another one I think it's pregnant too :mrgreen: ... Btw, my fontanus it's the one tou sent to me and it's looking great... the mini-pellia it's quite special and very sensible too. It doesn't tolerate sudden changes on it's...

Just to share some pics of my mosses and shrimps...
