Hi guys, some may recognise this from another forum- (my alter ego is Rhysiboy ) Been directed here by Garuf, dont know if he goes by a different name here but thanks for the tip!
Right down to business,
Im starting a nano planted tank as a nice cheap and less time consuming alternative to marines... Less time consuming :? I hear you shout, but believe me trimming plants, daily dosing and water changes will be a nice change
The tanks is an aqua one 15 litre cube, no trim or anything like that. The filtration will bedone by the Dennerle Corner filter that I got for free from my work- seems that the fish store i work for is one out of a handful of stockists of the new nano range- The co2 supplied from a hagen yeast reactor with cal glass ware diffuser. Oh and the heater- a 25w hydor theo. Oh and I almost forgot, the lighting is provided by an 18w power compact 6500k light.
For the hardscape I have orderd 3kg of seriyu stone, ordered that bit more than i need to be able to have a play.
The plants will be Pogestemon Hellferri, Hemianthus Callitroichoides and others that I will get from work.
The fish- 5 Ember Tetras; I like the reddish colour to them, I think they would make a nice accent colour
Inverts- 5 Cherry shrimp and 4 Amano's
Heres my ongoing picture journal:
Painted background black
Placed it into its resting position
Added hardware:
At this very moment I am two days off receiving my stone and diffuser. Also i receiving some HC later in the week. Planting is imanent!!
