Planted nano - 28L invert aquarium

[dmachado]

This one was setup 3 months ago, the lighting is LED about 8W.









The plants love the light! No CO2 and minimal fertilization.

I am thinking about adding some more leds to get algae growing for the caridina japonica...

Cheers.

sand and the plants have gone mad i am pruning vallis and other plants and having to give them away

Put some pubbles or slate pieces in a bowl on a window these will soon grow algae then you can put a few in your tank to feed the shrimp. If you do plenty of pebbles then you can keep rotating them from tank to bowl so you will always have a supply

Or add some bits of catappa leaf. They'll feed on this quite happily 🙂
