My office nano low tech tank

[kohanson]

nothing, just A3 paper

Haha, ok. Looks really neat.

Are the fissidens and mini peilia tied to any rocks? The way they are, looks very natural.

Wow ...thanks Shadow...I really admire your patients and a creative mind to do that. Wonderful choices of plants to give the tank space and dimension and the final result a small tank looks bigger than it should.

I know for sure I can't do that ....

How old is the tank now since your setup

[AQMS]

Always admire your work and i am still waiting for your iaplc submission pic to be release.

How old is the tank now since your setup

Since early January, so about 7 months

[yiongcs]

how did you tie your spiky moss and grow them so nicely?

[limz_777]

nice scape

[marle]

did you have any algae problems?

[Shadow]

Brown algae on the glass because no otos inside but it can easily clean.

[marle]

its fantastic that your glosso can creep without c02 and fertilizer dosing. Not to mention only brown algae problem.

[Shadow]

Algae I think is normal for low tech tank. Glosso on the other hand has something to do with nutrient and light balance, just my theory. when you have plenty of nutrient and CO2 but not enough light, glosso start to grow upward.

In summary:
(Light) + (Nutrient + CO2) -> Grow observation
---------------------------------------------
(High) + (High) -> Creeping with big leaf
(High) + (Low) -> Algae
(Low) + (High) -> Growing upward with big leaf
(Low) + (Low) -> Creeping with smaller leaf (half the size of normal leaf)

[limz_777]

have you tried this transition on glosso ? high + high next day into low + low

[Shadow]

Nope, but my guess maybe no impact. It probably think rainy day

[magpie]

Low light plus low nutrient I doubt the glosso will creep.

Hi bro Shadow, I've tried the low + low combination before but faced melting instead. Tried it with ADA amazonia and had no luck. Still a noob probably

Brand new ADA Amazonian is rich of nutrient, my ADA is 5 years old
