Filter changed again, switched over to hob filter, tank ticks along a bit of algae though manageable, probably get round to a rescape in the new year.

Yep cut the bottom off in the end, the horizontal position worked ok untill I changed the light to flexi mini, it blocked light from some plants and became a pita when I neglected the tank a little, sucking in air when the tank wasn't topped up.

Thanks Ryan

Thanks for the comments guys, kitchen nano mkII is still running though a tad neglected, it keeps ticking along, shrimp breeding faster than the rams horn snails, will try and keep a better journal if/when I rescape it. iPhone pic Cheers for looking :-)

Kitchen Nano mk2 ready for inhabitants, weekend off coming up so the mini m will be stripped and the shrimp and snails moved here.

It's an aqua 50 produced by aquadistri, cheap an cheerful, I'm running it horizontally as it's too tall vertically:lol:

:lol: old nano has been moved to the living room, once the shrimp and snails have all been transferred it'll be rescaped and shiny glassware, led light and nice cabinet added to its equipment list ;-), Specs for this one clearseal 28x20x20 cm tank, flexi mini led, 150ltr per hour internal...

Thanks Darrel, spot on explanation as always, replacement nano has been running for a few weeks now, seeing good signs of growth, a little gsa and diatoms creeping in, Will start adding a few more ramshorn snails tomorrow, then a few shrimp over the next few weeks, Cheers for looking :)

Thank you Uslanja, this tank has been a joy to look after though I will be taking it down in the next few weeks, a few quick iPhone pics, Overgrown Monte Carlo Shrimp keep throwing soil over my nice sand foreground, Emersed plants have browned out again due to the cold weather ? Overgrown...

Hi there travellife, apologies for the late reply, the filter came with a superfish aquarium set I never got round to using, I'm not sure of the specifications of the filter but superfish or aquadistri is the brand.

It is mate, does the job though I will one day get round to building a cabinet and using an external filter.

A few random pics :-) really hard to photograph this tank as its next to the kitchen window. Emersed Monte Carlo died off completely as the autumn temps set it but I'm happy to see it was taken over by hydro Japan With a little ranunculus Which has now grown down the driftwood into the tank...

Hi Roy, I'll try and take some this weekend though it's a little overgrown :-) hi Jameson, it's an LE 10w cool white floodlight, purchased from Amazon, comes with a ridiculously short cable but with a little diy can be extended.

Thanks Andy :-)

Thanks Roy, the araguaia flowered this morning Tanks become quite dark on the left side due to the emersed plants blocking the light, may have to add another floodlight to cover that side Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks hoggie :-)

Hi alto, they all were trimming's I'd taken then grown emmersed for 3-6 months apart from the riccardia and small buce, they came from my low tech tank, tank was setup with easycarbo from day 1 after planting, it's one of those tanks I wish I'd kept a journal for, took around 2-3 months for the...

Few more pics, small buces starting to develop nice colours, Feeding gathering :-) Monte Carlo slowly making its way through the rocks Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

No gas, 1ml easycarbo a day which is a double dose, shrimp still breeding, little algae here and there but manual removal keeps on top of it, should calm down a bit now with daylight hours becoming shorter, thanks for the kind comment :)

Thanks for the likes and great comments guys :-) Tried to get a pic with the distracting filter out this morning Photography still not my strong point, Cheers for looking Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

:lol: Mrs Tim is a compassionate lady, she would never make a shrimp homeless ;-) plus if I aim to rescape it over Christmas she will be too busy to notice :lol: that should make it a permanent fixture :oops:

Thanks bloskas, it's making its way between the rocks slowly, I'm hoping the emersed MC will eventually work its way down to the rocks too. Thanks Tim and Andy, most appreciated :-)

Plant list and details as follows :-) Micranthemum Monte Carlo, hygro araguaia, riccardia chamedryfolia, Christmas moss, penthorium sedoides, ludwigia arcuata, various bucephlandra( not sure which sp ) Hydrocotyle tripartita(emersed) Ada mini m 36x22x26 Hardscape bog wood and mini landscape...

Thanks guys :-) Thanks Ryan, the light I have just screwed into the kitchen cupboard with the bracket supplied.

Morning folks, thought I'd share a quick pic of my kitchen nano, I needed a small tank to hold my shrimp when I rescape my 60p, so Mrs Tim gave permission for the mini m to go in the kitchen. Using a 10w led floodlight and internal filter, Cheers for looking :-) Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Drop me a PM if you do please Miranda :) lovely tank, your far to modest ;-)

Lovely tank, aurimas, welcome to ukaps and thanks for sharing.

That's lovely mick, I hope you enter it into iaplc this year mate.

Very nice, you'd have maybe got more views and comments if you'd started a journal.

Love that 2ft Cade tank.

Lovely island scape mark, will look exceptional once those red stems show there selves more.

Looks lovely firefly, I'd be tempted to utilise the star grass left and right foreground and leave the center open would look stunning with a central sand foreground for a lighter contrast, really nice scape well cared for :clap:

Glad I don't need tools like that for my nano :lol:

Very nice mal, really like the shark :-) beautiful fish.

Stunning scape antoni

Nothing wrong with self promotion when the scapes of that quality Ian, top job :clap:

Trim them hard once settled to sort of open up the left center slightly lead the eye through the scape according to the rule of thirds so the low foreground blends into this with bushy growth either side.graduation from the background to the foreground more than left to right.

Like it lots :-) trim the stems or remove just to the left third of the tank just to lead the eye through the scape, very nice mate.

Really nice scape mate.

Stunning example of a Dutch layout mate.

Nice tanks I echo gill's comment the pico is stunning great depth for a small tank good job mate.

Thank you :-)

Thanks guys :-) @ occean only thing in the tank with them is an otto I had 3 on setup and lost two but I'm reluctant to move him now, I kept cherry shrimp with them which went well until I had a tank accident and had to move some Taiwan bee shrimp in there which the puffers hunted down over a...

They could mean as in mature tank mate not sure of the Latin name of mine just labeled Pygmy puffers in the lfs I've had them maybe two years now bought 7 originally and lost 3 in the first 6 months maybe due to water issues or fighting, was fairly clueless back then and just took advice from my...

Well mine are kept in London tap water and I don't test so I would have to say not that sensitive or maybe like shrimp they don't like changing param's mind the tank gets two 30% water changes a week to help with the mess they produce.

Thanks jack mate :-) I had a couple of jumpers when I first set it up but I was trying to run it high tech never saw them even for food when the gas was on, not had any jumpers since its been low tech :-)

@ nath I am planing to try some tillandsia attached to the wood maybe some cypress helfri and ludwigia in the planters, now you see why I want that 40x40 oak cabinet ;-) nice idea with a bonsai mate

they are messy aren't they, big thanks to your bucket and al's puddle for the info on emmersed plants :)

was asked by a member on here for some pics so here goes its nothing original, emmersed planters added about a month ago with a very cheap half dead lily from homebase. little guys are very shy,but awsome little fish IMO the tank is slowly evolving to the sort of look i want for it,i will add...

thanks mate fluval edge tanks do look good :thumbup: hey jack think you'd do ok with a low tech nano depending on plant choice i upgraded the lights on mine to the led bar from the 46 ltr seems to give a better light spread than the halogens but it's still hard to get plant growth in the back...
