I am trying something new and different, a planted nano setup. I found these real nice little bowls manufactured by Live with Nature, the one-gallon Luminous Aquarium (http://www.livewithnature.net/pages/luminous). The Luminous bowls feature artistically layered bits of color around their bases and top rim. I had never seen anything like this and the pictures in their online store were so pretty. While ordering I selected the Earth Aquarium. I liked the look of the natural, earthy hues in that one, and I imagined that the colors would contrast well with a little nano planting inside. Last night when I got home the box was waiting there for me.
I also got a quick shot of the Luminous in situ.
This will be a fun, refreshing little no-tech project. I intend to just light up the bowl with the diffuse sunlight coming through the window--It makes such a neat effect with the colors. I might dose with Excel. Now I need to think about plant selection(???). There isn't a whole lot of room in there for plants, but I should be able to find one or two selections that will fit nicely.
