Your rock has a lovely texture in part 1 
I wonder what's in store for the stand?! Although it would be still nice to see back to childhood featured on it
Enjoyed looking back on tank 1 and 2 also

Thanks, Manisha. I tested the stand with tanks and looked at them in a couple of minutes. It was too risky and not safe
I have not decided on how I will do with plants and the stand. Perhaps it might take longer as I want some of my questions to be answered first

Emersed anubias leaves
Next week it's officially autumn and perhaps it will has more rains and temperature will be cooler down to 34 mid-day and 26 mid-night. Summer is almost over
Heat caused a bit problem with Part I plant growth. Two portions of blyxa japonica melted and died. The rest plants are doing okay. Photoperiod is 8 hours from 5pm to 2am. Dosing in first week is 1 push of ADA Step 1 and Brighty K daily. Next week I am going to reduce dosing to 1 push of each every water change. Also I setup this as high tech tank so 24/7 Co2 at 1bps
There is no livestock in Part I now. In one or two more weeks tank's condition will be more settled and a cleaning crew of 20 RC shrimp will be added
Not bad for a low tech tank. Cleaning crew is doing a very good job. Photoperiod is 5 hours from 8pm to 1am
Dosing is 1 push of AD Brighty K and Step 1 every water change and 1 push of liquid Co2 Borneowild Growth every other day
Hello there

Let me know if you see young shrimp

Lucky you! In my town we recently got the hit of extreme heat, my tanks and me are in poor states.

I hope it will end soon Alexander
Our autumn often starts with heavy rain and ends with another shower. I can tell it is a routine every year. After that weather condition is warmer and dry, less rain before we enter winter
Still fighting with temperature. It is almost mid-night and temperature is 29.
I have to trim most of blyxa japonica in part I, and only few small portion left. Rotala green is now planted at the place which was for blyxa
Part I HOB was removed and a Eheim classic 250 takes its place. I have to use 250 because I cannot find Eheim 150 anywhere now. It is sold out.
Visited Aqua Minh Long after work and placed my order. It will be delivered to me in early September
I thought I had to wait a week or two, however, after 24 hours with 250 tank is now ready for cleaning crew. Hopefully the brown diatoms will be gone in a couple of days

Hey part one us looking well with the rescape ☺ & your shrimp have lovely colouring. Great photos ☺
Did a massive trimming tonight and moved out most of abunias nana petite last Wednesday
This is how Co2 is being dissolved
There are several unwanted snails and I have this assassin to do the tasks
It's P.A.R.T.Y time. This piece of winter melon is for otto but it seems shrimps like it
It's pretty tough time for plants to grow in our high heat. You can see the impact of high temperature on one of my nano tank
This one is doing okay
This shrimp is almost going out of the water
I am going to have new stand for them soon

How is the Eheim light working bro? Is this too strong for the nano tank or just right?

Lightning is okay. In fact you can adjust the height from lamp to water surface. Eheim recommends 8cm max but depend on temps I adjust it from 10 to 15cm

I like the composition. But kids often put their hands on these nano. So option is move table to another corner, get a new stand and rearrange power supply
Love the simplicity of the scapes - you definitely have a signature look

Really nice minimalist scapes. Beautiful.
Thank you!

Thanks Tim. I got the inspiration from James Findley's work through the eyes of a child
Thanks Jack
It's been awhile since my last update on T1. In fact I do not take a lot of care for it as this tank is already mature. Selected plants are hardy and can survive under high temperature. If you still remember the plant I had early Feb from local aquatic plant store. It is local plant and after nearly six months in T1 I can tell this one is very slow grower (only two new leaves and I barely see much difference in its height) and need less care than any other in T1
This is tank picture I took tonight. Still looks good as if it has never been in such summer high temperature
You might guess what's in the middle of the tank. It is suction cup I put it there for keeping longfin pleco food from floating
Don't look at green spot. I will clean it this weekend

Simple but very nice. If it does not require too much maintenance - it's wonderful home trank. You can enjoy your fish rather than worrying about plants.
