Hi from East London, newbie looking for an advice regarding nano tank

[wlodarska.iza]

Hello,

Secret Santa did very well last year and I got a nano fish tank (super-nano as it's only 7 litres...) which I'd like to set up soon. I'm still considering if I should exchange it for something a bit bigger, probably at least 20l but I don't really have permission to do it in the flat I rent so... well... I'm still considering if 7l is big enough to keep there anything as the water parameters can change fiercely and it's really tiny. I would like to set it up as Dutch-style, probably without CO2 but lots of plants not many fish.

Can you please advise?

Which tank do you have?

I'd consider this as shrimp or snail or Betta only in terms of the 7l volume, but dimensions & filter would impact suitability

Hello and welcome, I think @alto has pretty much summed your options up.
Perhaps you could start a journal, that way we could follow your progress and offer any help you need along the way

Hi
Welcome to the UKaps.....for some guidance look at the Tutorial section!
7 litres is a small tank, you could start it up as a emersed Dry Start Method.

Thanks for all the comments! It's All pond solutions FW-7:

Specification:

LED wattage: 3w

Pump output: 250L/h

Pump wattage: 2.5w

I think about changing the light to a 7W LED desk lamp. I will start the journal when I decide if this is the size I will go for
