Hi all,

I mentioned recently a little project I've undertaken, after becoming quite addicted to nano's. Basically I had a spare 12x8x8 inch tank that I decorated for some shrimp, skip forward a month and I now have 3 optiwhite tanks of those dimensions, that I've aimed to scape in such a way that they are

A) simple, no plant substrate; dennerle shrimp inert gravel only, thin layer to reduce anaerobic bacteria.

B) easy plants, non rooted, includes Anubias, mosses, and types of Java fern.

C) different types of scape, one is manzanita and rock, one is driftwood, one is a kind of seiryu rock.

Haven't gotten round to fully stocking them yet, but I'd like to get them running first and get the plants settled before moving forward.

So without further ado, I've attached some pics below; hopefully they'll appeal to you as they appeal to me :)

This is awesome, very neat and tidy. I'm sure the significant other will appreciate how clean it is haha. Love all the stones (and I think I spot Sado Akadama!!!)!
 
Nice, can you tell me which microsorum sp is used in the middle tank?
Thanks

Ahahah. I thought it was a pump, but I had to ask... lol

Those lights seem small enough for my tank. How wide is the clip, around 3 inches?

I think 2.5, can't find the ruler to give an accurate measurement, but 90% on 2.5

I measured them in the pic, considering the aquarium width, and it should be around that, I already found them on ebay!

You don't waste time! They are very good imo, they are touch activated, no switch; and have 3 or 4 different settings :)

It's a generic brand, you can find them on ebay if you search for 'aquarium LED clip on' if you zoom in on the pics @Aqua360 posted you can see a JBA logo on the clip, just look for it.
Here are the ones I found (I'm not sure if I can link ebay here, so I'll leave item numbers):
  • 15 LEDs - item 291779474570
  • 21 LEDs - item 172203942295
