Hello!
After intro where I have mentioned about my projects, it looks to me polite to show them here.
I am new in this domain so please take this as a work of a beginner. I have a clear target for this year : to make a replicate of the main ideea from the moovie "What Dreams May Come". But for this, I will open a jurnal, in good time.
One and a half year ago I have started my first aqvarium. Until then I din not know anything about aqvarium. One day I found a few tutorials from Tropica on YouToube and I said to myself, "OK, if they can then I can. In the end of the day, those are made also by people." First was not a nano (that is much difficult to control without any experience) but a medium one : 100 litters. It is a Diversa 80 with original lighters but equiped with reflectors (Hobby), with external filter (JBL CristalProfi e901, with all sections filled with Siporax and Seachem Matrix), internal pre-filter (Eheim, only one segment), surface skimmer (Micro Eheim).
Plants ar mostly "easy" but also Anubias Barteri Nano, Pogostemon Helferi, Anubias nana Pinto, ...
Fish : Microrasbora Galaxy, Boraras Urophtalmoides, Rasbora Espei, Black Neon.
Shrimps : Amano, RCS, Bloody Mary and two Atyopsis Gaboensis.
Snails : Spiral Horn.
Now, before next cutting (Rotala become very "unpolite" with Ludwigia...) I took a picture.
This is my aqvarium I use for ... making my hand. A lot of changes were made in time.
Now it looks like this:
Next project was a nano garden ... indoor! I tried to make a combination between a nano cube and a nano garden. Nano cube is also before cutting, Tripartita will be pushed back but I think you may get an ideea about how will look soon. By the way, there is also first flower of Anubias Nana Pinto! The set-up was made four months ago.
Now the third!
This a nano that is not a nano! Is ... something made by glas and used for washing battery elements in ... I don't know what purpose. But it was used as aqvarium. Is a massive piece of glass in one single unit. Of course, it have some scratches and many imperfections of the glass. It was found in a selar by my godson together with a few Aquael filters. It was a chalange coming from him, after I shown him my aqvarium: let's see what you can do with this. I change the content of filter, making room for mini Siporax and limiting the sponge only to the entry. With very low investments (a root, some Dragon stones and plants, Tropica Universal Soil) I was very curious what can we do with it. So, here it is :
And some details ...
This last one is very close to my heart. I had the feeling that, instead buying a pure breed dog I saved a vagabond puppy from the street, I clean him, fed him, and gave him a chance. Because of this, he was the first project that got a name : The Worship of the Stones.
Next week shrimps come: Amano, Bloody Mary Shrimps, Blue Pearl Shrimps ... and Zebra snails.
So, this is my experience so far!
If any ot this look interesting to you, just ask me. It will be my pleasure to show you details.
PS Sorry for not very good quality of the pictures, was taken by phone.
