Nano tank on my office table :)

[hiisoka]

sorry about the poor picture

GEX glassterior300 tank
300mm x 200mm x 250mm

filter:
GEX slim hang on filter (m-size)

light:
forgot the brand,
some LED light with 48leds

fan:
dymax vortex8
water temp: 23-24°c


substrate bottom to top:
ada powersand
ada amazonia
ada amazonia (powder)


hardscape:
some rocks i bought from mainland
(smashed some into smaller pieces using a hammer)
"tree-like" driftwood from c328. (removed the nanas that comes with it)
some loose thin driftwood around the "tree" to act as roots


plants:
hairgrass
HM
hydrocotyle tripartita
xmas moss (on the driftwood)
xmas moss on mesh
fissiden moss on one of the "root" driftwood


still very much a work in progress....
might add some mini pellia on rocks or mini fissiden on rocks...
would prefer to keep it lowtech, but probably going to add co2 injection...

Nice looking project, bro. No fauna? What's the carpeting plant on the substrate?

[hiisoka]

thanks

nope. no fauna yet, not until i finish adjusting.
im looking to add some boraras brigittae. or maybe crs.
cant really decide.

the carpeting plant is christmas moss (i believe ) on mesh. i plucked out the excess moss
around the mesh so that i can "bury" / cover the mesh with the soil

very nice, i am starting a table top tank as well.

looking good. try not to add rocks in a crs tank.. you can consider cherry shrimp which is more hardy

can tell you are very serious into making this an excellent scape with your substrate choice.

ada powersand
ada amazonia
ada amazonia (powder)

just little suggestion, make the front soil flat.

Nice with the update scape!

I was thinking that the tree would look abit empty in the centre portion when the mosses grow out. Would you think that putting some support in tree to make the mosses grow lusher will make it nicer?

You've got a really nice piece of wood there

[Dredshere]

i think u shld get a nicer filter. those hang on filter with the motor in the filter itself.

last look before i decomission it. the moss on the "tree"
didnt turn out too well. abit of photoshop to touch up the lighting
