nano tank

Hi all! I am setting up a 1.5G micro nano tank and have been trying to find a co2 system (afforable) sufficient for it. I have been using my neo co2 diy set for my 3G and realized that the output is too much, which means it would be even worse for a 1.5G, especially because I plan to have...

Hi All I'm new to the forum and really excited to have joined! I'm a beginner (this is my second set up and my first was a bit of a catastrophe). I had some questions regarding water chemistry and RO water. I previously used tap but my source water is extremely hard (London) and is very high in...

This is my first tank for a few years. I had a lot of the equipment already,bought for a planned tank a couple of years back that never got started, just waiting for the spark of enthusiasm to get back into it. My first idea was to do a very jungle-y scape but after looking for sources of...

Hi. I’m working on the hardscape for my first nano tank. I gathered some rocks from the beach and this is how I positioned them but I’d like opinions before I glue it. I’m Planning on sloping my soil up toward the back left to cover the base stones. I’ll be keeping it quite simple and safe with...

I have a 5 gallon tank which will be low tech. No CO2 and a clip on led light. I’m not sure how bright it will be but probably low to keep algae away. I have a dimmer that so I can adjust the brightness. I’ve been reading about low tech plants a lot and I think I’ve finally settled on the three...

I'm struggling with these swords in my tiny tank. Absolutely no idea why I bought such a large plant for such a small tank. It was in the early days of the tank and I had basically no knowledge or experience. I can't get them to grow properly; they have always had some kind of deficiency which...

Hi All, new to forum but very experienced fish keeper (~10 years). I currently have a Fluval Roma 125 which has been running a while. Wanted a new nano project as something a bit different. I'm mainly looking for what my actual physical tank options are currently. Not sure what products are out...

Hi All Just a quick question regarding Lava Rock as hardscape. I've read in numerous places that lava rock acts as a great area for colonising denitrifying bacteria and thus will improve water quality. . Just wanted to ask you guys if (from your experience) you have found this to be true. The...

Hi, I am looking for a rectangular glass rimless/braceless nano tank around the 20L mark. Had a good look around the web but mostly come up with cubes or acrylic tanks such as Interpet Nano LED 19L which is nice but has rounded corners and inbuilt filter both of which I am not keen on also...

Like many of the people using this forum I seem to have caught this aquascaping bug by chance. The following dozen or so steps just about sum it up really: Step 1. buy 'low maintenance' goldfish pet for daughter……Step 2. watch said 'low maintenance' pet die due to lack of maintenance (and...
