Hello,
After being introduce to this forum by another member at Aquatics Live 2012, I have decide to have a go at a Nano planted tank, bearing in mind that i have never set up a planted tank before I i'm not sure whether a Nono tank is a good start or not but i like a challenge.
I Have an empty Clearseal tank with internal measurement of L345 x W195 x H200 i have calculated this to be about 13L, i have purchased a 2kg of Fluval Shrimp Stratum Substrate to use with this thank along with a piece of bog wood and a lava rock, the decition im trying to make is whether to go with a DIY lighting using 3 x 1w white LEDs' (which i have available) but would i need other colours such as red,green and blue to make it pleasant to the eye the White LED have a colour temp from 6000k to 7000k or if some one could recomned me a diferent lighting to use with this, i have also looked into the arcadia pods but im not sure if these are suitable enough for a nano planted tank.
I also have a Power Bio 200 filter that i'm planning on using with this tank. Would this be ok if i was to keep only Cherry Shrimps?
i have not yet worked out if I want it to be High tech or not. what would be the best way to go about this sort of set-up?
Finally what plants would be suitable for this set-up?
Thank in advance and sorry if it is a lot to ask, i have spent some time looking around the net for information but its all still quite new to me
