I'm new to the forum so thought I share with you some pics of my tanks. The last one is only a few weeks in. Happy to receive any feedback, particularly concerning nano hardscape design.

Very nice:) the centre tank is my favourite thanks for sharing. How long has that one been running for?
 
I second Kirk, that middle tank is amazing and I don't normally like rock only scapes.
 
Thank you.

The 1ft shrimp cube has been going for 11 months. That pic was taken about a month ago. I have it entered into AGA, so fingers crossed.

The 2ft has been going for about 20 months.

The little one with the led light has been going for about 1 month.

The last pic (with all 3) was taken yesterday. :)

I'm not 'allowed' to get any more tanks :(

All 3 looking great. Please share specifics.

I'll see what I can dig up. But they're all high tech, but maybe the 2ft is mid-tech. All have co2, all have canisters.

The 2ft and 1ft cube are both CADE. the other tank is an ADA mini m knock-off, but the light is ADA.

doesn't surprise me as it well worthy. Good luck too. When I create a scape that pleasing on the eye I will feel that all the stress involved/maintenance has been worth it.:)

Those are seriously beautiful. Got some specific questions on the 60cm if you don't mind. What's your CO2 bubble rate and how long do you run your lights for?
 
Thanks a lot flygja

Vegetable glycerine is in the bubble counter (not water). For the 2ft it's pretty fast, 5-6 bps. The others are more like 1.5 bps. The 2ft gets a 6hr photo time, other vary. I'll get fert info up soon.
