 |
|
This was my first ever hightech planted tank and yes it was a nano. Many people find it difficult to maintain nanos but well its not.
This tank has never been posted online or on iah because i dint know iah at that time, its my ex planted and scraped it long back.
Here are the details:
Tank size: 12"L x 7"W x 9"H
Soil : ADA amazonia 2
Light: 27w spiral CFL
plants: HC, Glosso, Hairgrass and some stem plants
Moss added later: java, fire and then pelia
Fishes and shrimps: kept changing
Filter: internal with spraybar
Co2: pressurized 1bps
Maintanance: 60% water change twice a week
NEVER added fertilizers.
The wood i used:
First day of the tank:
Tank with light:
Tank after a week:
glosso:
HC:
Dwarf hair grass:
After few weeks:
Cherry shrimps:
Otto:
Growth:
Never add these as they eat plants (long nose):
Tank after some more time:
Added fire and java moss:
Check the growth:
Tank shots:
STOPPED TRIMMING & CHANGING THE BULBS DUE TO WHICH MY GLOSSOS STRATED GROWING UP...:
Another tank shots:
Neon tetras:
Hair grass growth:
Mad glosso growth.......
Stopped paying attention, never trimmed, ignored water changes because i was settingup my new tank.... still see the growth.....
Had shrimps breeding in such a small tank:
Had a visitor everyday........
THE END........ i hope u like it and nothing is impossible........... NANOS WILL BE MY FAV. FOREVER |

| Veeral this is really good.. Loved the moss on the pics towards the end. Am planning for a nano for sometime now and this is really inspiring. Best part was you have not used fert and so i guess changing water twice a week is more important! I guess you didn't used RO water but normal tap water right? |
