i wasn't too fussed about posting this as it's not really scaped as such...it's mainly for getting shrimp shots.

it has been set up for 3 weeks now, co2 injected, EI and liquid carbon.

manzianata wood (upside down)
lava stone
columbo flora base substrate.

plants.
r rotundifolia
moss (java?)
hydracotle
e acicularis
crypt (unkown)

It's nice to have something at home.

Re: Saintly's shrimp nano. 20L

Thats really nice and quite refreshing if you know what i mean, far from typical.

The photography is on the button as always, sharp as heck!

cheers Dan. The wood was a borrowed idea from an amano tank. seems to work OK considering the small space.

i'll be putting some fissidens in soon (thanks samc) from the 120. and some HM :D
 
Re: Saintly's shrimp nano. 20L

I just saw the words 'saintly', 'shrimp' and 'nano' and thought "thats going to be awesome"... I wasn't disappointed :lol: :thumbup:

What shrimp have you got in there at the mo?

thanks dude :thumbup: it's early days yet, so as it matures it should take on a more 'natural' look.

just 6 cherries and 1 amano. I'm after some CRS shrimp or anything that's a little more exotic. :D

i like the different way of using the wood in this. very cool :D

cheers sam. I'm going to use this stuff in my next 120cm ;)

You're a modest guy, this has to be one of the nices nanos I've seen. :) To agree with the others, it's got a real nice refreshing feel to it.

cheers dude. kind of you to say. there are probably better on here though. :D

anyway, i've got a name for the tank now....' 'Endler's sky'

just suits what's going off inside i think.

Very nice Mark.

I really want to put together a little nano setup someday soon.
 
Re: Saintly's "Endler's sky'

looking good buddy.

I have set up 4 breeding tanks for my shrimps so with a little bit of look I have plenty for you soon

small tip, your endlers really like baby shrimp :D , so it's not the best combination

looks great. and how the hell do you make photos like this. they are great :D

partly good gear, and a good background. i'm using a graduated background for these....apart from the macro stuff.

W/B control is key with the blue grad. the first shot in this journal is totaly wrong, but the others are ok. i'm also getting much better focusing results with the 'live view' i'll never trust auto focus again!
