A Woking nano tank

[Dr Mike Oxgreen]

Here it is a few weeks ago, shortly after planting the plants...

A few weeks later, I've got a slight problem with filamentous brown algae, but a session with a toothbrush has tidied it up a bit...

I have fish arriving on Friday: 8 Boraras brigittae (Chili rasboras), 8 blue cherry shrimp, and 3 Otocinclus.

Bloody hell! The HC and Glossostigma have gone mental! These pictures are about 3 weeks apart. I hope the algae issue clears up.

Nice growth, algae most likely are diatom and with some help of your livestock they will getting less after a while, in the mean time keep doing water changes.

Welcome. Indeed nice growth, better keep the HC close in check, if it gets to dense to soon it can lift itself with its own bubbles back to the surface. If it gets to dense like few centimeters high, it starts melting at substrate level because of light deficiency in the lower parts. Trim it back on time..

Happened to me, was so proud about my mental growing HC forgot to trim it on time. Hard to get it back once that happens. I can tell, that was lesson number 2 my HC learned me.. And i went mental, had a few weeks extra work to sort that out again..
