Hmm.. with out filter will be quite a challenge. Why don't you consider a small hang on filter. Wackytpt did one of a similar dimension and I think he bought one of these Jebao mini hang on filters. Looks quite good.

Going to start a nano tank together with my girlfriend! Its going to be a 8" cube or smaller tank without filter & CO2. Plan to use a 11W clip-on light. As the tank is going to be on my gf desk at her home, hence it has to be a relatively maintenance free tank.
Current plan is to use a few small rocks with Taiwan moss and a sprinkling of hairgrass. Livestocks would be 4-5 cherry shrimps. However, my gf likes Xmas moss and I'm not sure whether the nano tank w/o a cooler would be condusive towards Xmas moss. If I were to install a DIY fan would the evaporation render the water conditions unstable?
Also seeking suggestions for scaping and plants. Please keep the suggestions coming in.

I have dwarf cichlids in my tanks! Do you?
I think it will be good if you can add either a small hang-on filter or a internal filter!
It would also be good if you can add a fan!
The rate of evaporation is rather great, but it also depends very much on surface area. Since yours is only 8", I guess it is still manageable!
I dun really monitor the parameters, so cannot comment on that!
Good luck with your new tank!
woah! didn't know such a small fan exist! will check it out when I go down Sim Lim. Thanks!Originally Posted by |squee|

I've actually got a thread on a different forum showing how to DIY a cooling fan using that same 40mm fan with a clip.
Is it ok for me to link up to that thread here?
My mini DIY fan.
Call me Brian.
P.S. This is what part of the alphabet would look like if Q and R were eliminated.
Hi Benny,
care to share with me how u setup the nano tank? V 'turned on' buy the tank .
Is MU a high maintenance plant (ie needs CO2, gd nutrients)?
