Dear Friends, this is my first post in here and I would like to introduce you my recent nano project:
I have started this set up 3 weeks ago and would like to share with you what I have done. Any advices and critics are welcome!
Tank: 20x20x20cm - 8l
Lighting: PL-L 11W 6000K for 8h
Substrat: Earthworm castings as a base and sand
Flora: Riccia, Mayaca Vendeli, small pinch of HC(survived from the last scape), Hemianthus micranthemoides.
Fauna: not introduced yet, but red cherry is the choice.
Fertilizers: Dupla 24, Glutaraldehyde 0,2 ml per day and 100ml of soda water to top up evaporeted water.
Filter: hanging up filter
Water changes: 50 % per week
The begining:
Planting - First attemped
birds eye view:
The tank fluded:
After replanting and adding HM

Another view:
The Riccia pearling:
Supplying the nano tank with CO2 through adding soda water is idea I got from one set up of Oliver Knot. It seems quite unconvential, but it's seems to work. I havent checked any water parameters until now, but the tank seems healty to me.
Waiting for your coments on the scape and soda aproach!
Kind regards
