    The title of the tread is Low-tech (non-CO2)tanks post your pics!

    Re: Low-tech (non-CO2) tanks post your pics!

    didnt take out .. my HOF is on the far right, the pipe hidden by the branchy and hornwort
    that nano is a 8l tank... shrimplets are healthy and growing

    your 5 l tank should at least have a small HOF

    gonna start another new nano tank , 25 l

    I said similar too.
    IMO it is alway good to have. Bb in the tank itself sometimes is not enough.

    yap , my HOF being there with about 20 ceramic ring squeezed in every corner i can since cycling.
    then after WC or filter cleaning , add BB liquid back to HOF
    ammonia and nitrite zero ever since.

    so your 5l tank should practice that as small amount of water can become dirty fast and evaporation is fast.

    Nano, 2 day water topup until overflow schedule
    Substrate:Ada2 only
    Filter: Non (so small put what filter, how to wire power to outside LOL)
    Oyama(Black covering 3 sides to reduce the over powering sun.)
    Rocks: Non
    Flora: Normal Hairgrass, abit glosso (which seems to all reach up for light ), Salvina natas, stragone sp
    Fauna: Red platy juvernile
    Date picture taken: 12/2/2011, 6.30PM
    Note:Just added a few stalks of stragone sp (about a month) recently to take over the unknown stem plant, also have existing very annoying hair algae problem

    I hardly trim this nano so most of the HG is like too long haha.



    Here's another tank that is not growing well despite the better lighting.
    Tank: Oceanfree 23CM
    Substrate: Ada2
    Flora: Glosso+HC , Hortwort, Salvina natas, stragone sp. (HC is crawling slowly glosso thou less at start has taken most of the place.)
    Fauna: Red platy juvenile
    Date picture taken: 12/2/2011, 7.45PM
