My ADA Cube Garden M

[Corleone]

Stopped doing tanks awhile back, but suddenly had a itch again to start.
Decided to start a small tank in my room, didn't have time to do a step-by-step journal but decided to share some pics of its progress after 28 days.

Will try to update with new pics every now and then.

Cheers! =)

Your scape looks larger than than the real thing... well done! What is your fertilizer regiment?

[hebi]

simple and nice. may i know what moss you are using? and also whats the watt of your light?

[Corleone]

Haven't started fert regime yet, just Co2 injection for the last month.

For this scape using Christmas moss and TaIwan moss.

[EvolutionZ]

beautiful ,corleone!

acctually i don't think you need co2 right? since its only moss in there.

[Corleone]

Well, guess i always had a better experience growing moss with Co2, more healthy to to me. so thats why got a small canister for it. =)

true.. moss tend to grow fatter and lusher with co2.. and when they bubble.. they simply are the most beautiful plants!

[Corleone]

Yes. they definately are greener and more lush...

[hebi]

mind sharing the conditions in your tank like the watt of light and temperature? the moment i tried using CO2 with moss, algae will start to appear.

[Corleone]

I'm running a single 18w PL tube on the tank.
Temperature wise i managed to keep it aorund 25-26'c

I do get algae attacks every now and then too but i usually do a water change if it happens and trim out the infested bits.

[Corleone]

Took some photos. Here is 2 of them to share.

[beetroot]

Wow, beautiful green lush moss!
You're using ADA soil?

[Corleone]

Yes, ADA Amazonia..

[Xianghao]

very nice scape.. looks like some natural landscape. maybe you should put some sakuras, the colour will contrast nicely..

[Corleone]

am considering putting in some shrimps but haven't decided which kind.

nice setup.....can i know how big is your tank..cause i want to buy the same fan you using for my 1feet tank

The addition of the Narrow-leave Java fern is quite interesting... it breaks the monotonous effect quite effectively... yet not too overpowering.

As for shrimps... do you intend to add colours to your tank? If the temperature is within good range, you can even keep pure White CRS If you want red, Cherry is fun to keep as they breed like...err... Cherry shrimps!
