and a short video

I like the rocks. They have a nice shape and colours.
I think it would look much better with more anubias in the front of the wood.

Thanks for suggestions. I would love to, however it's a low budget project and I set a limited spending for it ☝️once it's set you can't be over spending. In fact I am slightly over spending

Wow, you have really sweet tanks. Photo quality is also great. What are you using to take pictures of your tanks?

Thanks! It is a Fujifilm X10. Only few modes I am using for taking pictures which are S, A and underwater

Went to local store, Aqua Minh Long, after work and got all my tanks. They are small tanks, made by store owner and their finish is good. I had some fun playing with materials there and let the inspiration and imagination go

Next to Part I

Finish closeup

Initial ideas

Sand will be added later. Wood and rocks are being soak in the next couples of day

Good night folks!

Hi Anhbui, your tanks are looking very professional as always... a bit too perfect in fact, as I'm rather jealous!

I really like the contrasting designs of your three small tanks - you have anice great eye for aquascaping and are very creative

Hi Manisha, thank you. I have learned a lot from UKAPS members and especially from this man

I agree - UKAPS folk are great! So helpful & knowledgeable! & Amano revolutionized how we think of our aquatic tanks

However, you can read and learn much but talent & artistic flair is a gift you either have or you don't & you just have it (jealously scowling...!)

Part II completed

Tanks info

15x15x15mm
15x15x25mm

White sand
ADA Amazonia

Plants:
Anubias Nana Petite
Hydrocotyle sp. "Japan"
Mini Taiwan moss
and a few buce

This is my first time with real low tech tanks, so dosing still an open question for me? But perhaps it should be okay to use liquid carbon (01 push for 50l), and one push Step 1, Brighty K every other day

Hi there, Nice looking nano tanks!

Your lightning seems a bit too strong for low tech setup...can you dim it?

Otherwise, no need for daily ferts dosage in these tank, 1x per week after WC is OK. Liquid carbo is ok daily but beware to not 'burn' your mosses.

Good luck!

Hi, that's great suggestion. I do appreciate it. I replace the flexi mini by a desk lamp. Definitely the tanks need a different led unit.

Just checked with local store for two led units that suit for such small tanks. Looks like I have to wait for a couple of weeks more

Since we've been going through hot summer with the average temperature 35oC. All of my planted tanks are not in the best condition. Some plants died but the rest are still doing okay. I think most of my plan for summer are on track. Quite happy with that

Added Crypt. Flamingo last week. Looks like it starts growing in. My camera settings and 10k metal lamp make it less pink than it really is

Enchinodorus parviflorus tropica?

And some shots of my angelfishes
