Hi everyone I decided to start the journal of my two nanos i've got at the moment
The first and oldest setup is an Arcadia 35l tank, 2 arc pod x 11w ,sometimes when heavy planted even 3x 11w, pressurized CO2 + atomizer, fertilizers complete range easylife EI technique, filtration Eheim 2213 + hang on filter used as surface skimmer as main purpose.
The current setup is an iwagumi style with slate rock as hardscape, substrate mixture of ADA amazonia +colombo Flora+ power sand special ADA all washed, dried and reused from a previous setup. Plants Hemianthus callitrichoides cuba, pogostemon helferi, heteranthera zosterifolia. I used HZ just to start off with but it will be replaced, not decided yet what is gonna take its place.
The second tank is an Juwel rekord 60 slightly modified, light 4x 24w T5 only 2 running at the moment 7 hours/day, CO2 pressurized DIY FE, same fertilizing as for the other tank easylife EI, filtration Eheim 130 pro+ hang on filter . Substrate Flora base topped with colombo, hardscape local rock and wood.
I'm struggling with an algae issue at the moment some green hair and diatoms but both tanks are quite young and i'm sure i'l manage to get rid of algae pretty soon, still need some CUC to add to the existing ones.
I know is not a very detailed presentation, but i'm running out of inspiration at the moment so just ask and/or suggest and i'll be here willing to answer.
