Reply With QuoteLooks good and neat. But the hairgrass is already blocking the Anubias on the left. I suggest you try some other shorter forground plants and spread it around the foreground.

Hi,
Just to share with you the progress of my daughter's 1.5ft.
Bought more mini-Nana plants and added some regular hairgrass on the left side of the tank.
There are No undergravel fertilizers, No CO2 and light is 11W. So far so good, no sign of algae.
Included 5 Rainbow shrimps, the fishshop guy told me they are also known as Malayan shrimps.

Is the rizhome of the nana burried? it should not rite!
another concern..care the shrimps might be eaten by the angel fish?
Else, nice start.... Yeps try a shorter foreground...
Keep it up!
Thanks for all the input.
As for the hairgrass on the left foreground.....what other choices do I have? The limitation is that there is no CO2, no undergravel fertilizers and just 11W of light.
I can dose more liquid fertilizers more offen (I am dosing about 2 times a week).
What else can I grow in the foreground based on my limitations?

Neat!
Actually, it looks a lot larger than 1.5 ft.
Cheers,
p.s. I've linked the pictures in from the gallery so that it shows up bigger. More impact for such a pretty aquascape.
I have dwarf cichlids in my tanks! Do you?
MS, given your lighting and non-co2 approach, you can cut out your fertilisation totally and just rely on the waste of your angels...Originally Posted by ms
Else there will be excess nutrients in your tank... And the algae in your tank will love you...
I would fill the sides and front with nanas if I were you. And just leaves bit of bare sand around the front. Low maintenance enough?

Baton courtesy.....service with a smile!
I agree, looks like a 2ft.
If you've learnt, teach, if you have, give.
Don't walk behind me as I might not lead, don't walk in front of me as I might not follow. Walk beside me, as my friend.
Mohamad Rohaizal is my name. If it's too hard, use BFG. I don't mind.
IMO, prefect home for groups of cories
...I love rubies too ...

Isn't it fine sand instead of gravel will damage the root of the plants ?
It's a very neat tank! As Fei Miao mentioned, a group of cories would be very happy in there!IMO, prefect home for groups of cories
Hi All,
I used a ruler just to confirm the size of the tank last night, it is a 1.5ft.....
Nice to hear that it appear bigger than it actually is.
My daughter is in Primary 3, I do not want her to do too much work and maintain the tank too frequently. By keeping low Bio-Load, plus more plants, I hope that the water changing will be cut down to about once a month, or less. For now, no more addition of fishes.....just hope that those cute cories do not catch the eyes of my daughter at the fish shop!
Currently, the water change is about 20% weekly.
MS
neat setup!
one thing, ur nanas dun look kinda natural planted! sorry for saying this
great for cories to live in
Hmmm.... what kind of substrate are you using? Don't seem to be the usual type.
Cheers,
I have dwarf cichlids in my tanks! Do you?
The substrate is very fine sand.....chosen by my daugther at the fishshop. It took about 3 days before the cloudiness becomes clear in the tank after it gets settled.
I know that the normal thing to do for Nana is that you would tie them onto rocks or wood. But I dun have any wood and I don't like to tie them on rock. Will be interesting to see how will it grow in a few months.
