Very lovely tank. What size is the tank? Any problems with the puffers?
here's mine. recently repositioned the rocks cause i am keeping cpos now.
inmates =
1x bluish/purple cpo,
1x white cpo,
about 50x cardinal tetras,
5x ottos.
rocks acting as the roofs are supported by 3 lava rocks each.
3 java ferns(i think) still tied to wood in the back ground.
two super tiny patches of hc. cpo uprooted quite a bit.
and unknow plant that has leaves like cobomba
its funny how the gf always nags when purchasing at the LFS, but displays so much interest in the tank at home. waaaa the shrimp so cuteeeee, buy a few more friends for them leh.... - .-
got from NA loh and because of the hotter days, the water is also getting hotter so diy a little light stand to raise the light by 8" from the water surface. need to make a pair of small stainless hooks for the lights. the black string looks awful.nice tank bro. may i know where you get the lights from? nice cute set
full front view, curtain opened
diagonal view, curtain closed. 8 fire red shrimp tenants testing the water.

the tank is 1 feet length i think. haha, i think quite a few puffers didn't make it, bought new puffers to replace, but now the number has stabilised to 2 only. Perhaps they require a larger tank with more stable parameters and more territory..
after decom my 3x2x2 marine, left the tank lying ard for a year till 3 weeks ago.........change the return frm 1260 to 1250 for slower flow rate.
found my old driftwood frm 6 years ago, bought some ferns and stuff it into the wood.
more pics.....
The filter below tank look complex. But the tank itself look simple and nice.
It's just a simple sump tank.
Is that inches, feet, or metric system.
I would like more info on sump filter system, for wondering if I can do a diy for my 29 gallon tank.
I'm gonna help him answer that: in feet.
I seriously missed this tank of mine ... no maintenance for 2 years yet one of my most enjoyable tankOffice shrimp tank ... no CO2, no fertilisers, one small filter, ADA gavel, plants only hairgrass, moss, nana & windelov

Perfect tankmates

who can keep marine , in a 3x2x2 inches tank? obviously is feet , no offends just saying peace
my low tech tank
@biscuit, that's nice tank. The plants are very well-organised.
@joe: Any tips for your old low tech tank setup? 2 years of no maintenance is very long..
Is it necessary to have soil for planted tank? I use normal gravel plus ADA Power Sand and my plants grow super slow and some already turn brownish green.
Just curious; how much wpg used in this tank?I seriously missed this tank of mine ... no maintenance for 2 years yet one of my most enjoyable tank

I think it's very nice, i like those rocks.
It depends on the type of plants you have as to what type of substrate you can use. For example Aponogeton would need dirt and java fern don't need any specific substrate. Growth is sped up with cabon added by using Excell or injecting Co2.
Can't really recall but it has to be a 11W or 13W PL tube over a 30cm cube tank

start strong ... grow lots of plants ... i gave it co2 over an inverted cup initially to boost the plant growth ... but few months once the plants had a foothold, i took off the co2 ... by that time, i had lots of shrimps in it, probably >200 to 300 shrimps in it ... i never ever changed water for 2 years ... only top up water as i turn on fan over weekend (it was an office tank)
