Hey chaps
I thought I would show the progression of my Dads kitchen nano. I set him up the tank as a gift last year and since then its been a case of trial an error due to the location being in full sunlight. CO2 wasn't an option due to budget and liquid carbon due to laziness. As a result the tank now makes use of floating plants and a black background. I've also removed the ugly top braces of the arctank and changed the stock filter to something more robust, powerful and with more media. I know it lacks the fine subtleties of glassware, an optiwhite tank and external filter that I love but I'm pretty chuffed with it all the same.
This is how it previously looked (why did I buy such white gravel?!);
I hope this is an inspiration to create something for your own father
Cheers,
Neil
