My kitchen nano

[tim]

Is this without injected co2? If so, I am very impressed, and definitely gives me inspiration for the plant list you mentioned!

No gas, 1ml easycarbo a day which is a double dose, shrimp still breeding, little algae here and there but manual removal keeps on top of it, should calm down a bit now with daylight hours becoming shorter, thanks for the kind comment 🙂

[QUOTE="tim, post: 459436, member: 7829"Photography still not my strong point,
Cheers for looking

If I'm honest Tim, photos of yours put me to shame! Don't underestimate your ability ☺ Lovely update as always!

Very kind Manisha 🙂

Micranthemum Monte Carlo, hygro araguaia, riccardia chamedryfolia, Christmas moss, penthorium sedoides, ludwigia arcuata, various bucephlandra( not sure which sp )
Hydrocotyle tripartita(emersed)

did these mostly begin as trimmings from your other tank? or did they start their submerse life with just the Easy Carbo etc?

Hi alto, they all were trimming's I'd taken then grown emmersed for 3-6 months apart from the riccardia and small buce, they came from my low tech tank, tank was setup with easycarbo from day 1 after planting, it's one of those tanks I wish I'd kept a journal for, took around 2-3 months for the plant mass to fill in.

Nice one

Thanks hoggie 🙂

Hi Tim, Looking great. Once again wonderful plant health love the Buces 🙄🙄

 

[tim]

Thanks Roy, the araguaia flowered this morning

Tanks become quite dark on the left side due to the emersed plants blocking the light, may have to add another floodlight to cover that side

I like your buces. Never tried them myself but I've only just heard about them.

Nice tank

hello Tim

Your nano is so so beautiful!!!

I love it. And it is giving me ideas on what to do with the rest of aquasoil amazonia that I didn´t used on my new tank.

I wonder if my husband would notice a nano somewhere in the house!!!

Hi Tim Any Update photos 🙂

 

[jameson_uk]

What's the 10w LED you have on there?

Hi Tim Any Update photos 🙂

Hi Roy, I'll try and take some this weekend though it's a little overgrown 🙂

What's the 10w LED you have on there?

hi Jameson, it's an LE 10w cool white floodlight, purchased from Amazon, comes with a ridiculously short cable but with a little diy can be extended.

A few random pics 🙂 really hard to photograph this tank as its next to the kitchen window.
Emersed Monte Carlo died off completely as the autumn temps set it but I'm happy to see it was taken over by hydro Japan

With a little ranunculus

Which has now grown down the driftwood into the tank

Submersed Monte Carlo is still rampant for a low tech

Araguia still doing well

Needs a major trim and is over run with cherry shrimp which makes siphoning fun

I will try and get a decent full tank shot before the scape comes to an end,
Cheers for looking 🙂
