Sneeky Peak

[Gill]

A Little peak of what I have been doing this afternoon, after spending 2 hours looking for bogwood.
I decided to make my own by glueing little peices together.
I am Very Happy with the result and Will be using it in my ADA entry.

Still got Mish Mash going, but not really going to scape it as its just for the endlers, took shred down.

Yep it is no more than 6cm high. Was very fiddly, as took a while to get the right composition.

More Nana Petite arrived this afternoon, so have glued that onto the left over wood and added that. (as always Last trading post for the Nana petite). Had been hoping that PAH would get some in, but none for ages. Might get some hydrocoytle though as a background plant, or 4leaf clover
Have decided to use old faithful, and get some more Moss balls. I have always liked how they look after I have cut and flattened them (Mosymo has the best Quality)

Gill, where did you buy your petite from?

Added Diy Co2 this afternoon, as this morning attempt was a failure(got the mixture wrong).
I do not have a diffuser or a spare airstone so have used a thin sliver of Filter sponge, and it works great.

Outlet is just above the impeller in the azoo filter so gets niceley distributed when going back into the tank.

Watching the Anubias and HC Pearling Is Cool, Wonder if Moss Balls Will Pearl once added.

Depends on the setup matey. If you see some of Amano's nano tanks in his books, some state 1 bubble per 5 seconds! I would start cautious if you have livestock in the tank too. If no livestock, whack it in!
