    Will be using the Shiruba 303 filter and pressurized CO2 for this setup. Cooling with fan.

    Tank planted with Monte Carlo with 1 solitary stone for hardscape.

    DSM for 2-3 weeks before I flood the tank to prevent floaters.

    If you are setting up a 30cm. Can google images of "ADA Mini S" to see what other hobbyist can do with a small tank.

    HC tank update.

    Received my Chihiros A-series led. Light seem to be a little yellowish and not as bright(disappointed) compare to the Up Aqua Z-Pro. But after having it for a day it seem the clarity inside the tank is better with the Chihiros, I can see the BBA on the Bucep inside the tank much clearer. With the Up Aqua it's just bright and white to my eyes. I am still waiting for my Chihiros RGB to arrive this weekend.

    This is a shot using my camera phone with the Chihiros Led.



    Up to 15% of the HC leaves are yellowing since 1 week back. I wish I knew what is lacking that is making them yellow. Or was it too much of something?

    Dosing with Tropica Premium Fert and Seachem Excel as per instruction.

    Had green dust algae on the wall and rocks and the otos did great job clearing them up.

    HC tank update.

    Now upto 40pct of the HC are brown. Not melting but just won't stay green.




    MC tank update.

    Added AR mini behind during dry start and many leaves melted away because I didn't cover the tank to keep the humidity in. Kept spraying until the leaves stick together and melted away. Had to prematurely flood the tank.

    11 days after tank is flooded. AR mini has recovered and all rotten leaves are gone.

    Re: 2.85 Gallon Nano

    got a feeling that the MC tank is not bright enough... maybe is the camera setting...

    Do you mean the HC tank? It does look dimmer from the picture. Maybe it's the camera phone I am using. Not good with photo taking but it isn't this dim.

    At the moment 1.5bps. Quite high for such a small tank but since the fishes are doing fine I let it be.

    From 3bps immediately after flooding(Did DSM) tuned down to 0.5bps, thinking of adding cherry shrimps but that's when everything went south. Could also be the light fixture change from Up Aqua Pro to Chihiros.

    Dosing Tropica Premium once a week after 50pct water change. Had stop dosing Seachem Excel daily.

    Did a trim and hope the new growth will stay healthy.

    Re: 2.85 Gallon Nano

    1.5bps should be fine, 0.5bps is way too low. the hc's must have suffered during that time period. chihiros lighting should not be the problem but why do you hang your light so high up? you can increase the dosage of your premium fert by 2 times as K is quite important for hc at the start. have you checked your nitrate readings? Premium does not contain N & P. i know amazonia releases ammonia at the start but you should still test for nitrate just to be sure.

    Thanks for the input. I will keep the bps at 1.5 and lower the height of the light fixture. Increase the fert dosing too since I have no algae issue.

    Don't have test kit to test for nitrate or ammonia. Maybe I will do twice weekly water change of 50pct since the volume is only a few litres...tap water to provide the nitrate. When I was doing daily water change everything was fine.(As what I am doing now with the MC tank daily water change plants are healthy)

    Re: 2.85 Gallon Nano

    HC tank update :

    Had a outbreak of BBA growing on the stones. Cleaned out the filter, a lot of dead and rotting HC inside. Sprayed with 1ml Excel everyday and most of the BBA has turned white.



    MC tank update :

    Did a trim on the MC so as to let them grow flat because some are growing upwards.

    AR mini grows very fast once it had taken root. Thought they are suppose to be redder instead of brownish pink.
