    gave up on the previous tank.. too small liao..
    now trying another mini tank..
    HC cannot survive... so transferred some plants from my 2 feet tank to this mini tank..

    6x6x7 inches..
    gravel is GEX
    forground plant is APP
    background plant is Tennulles

    Hopefully the APP and Tennulles will grow out nicely..

    enjoy..

    Bro, i think smaller tank displays smaller leaves of plant will look better. Like moss etc.

    a bit lar, but more inspired by bro Jervis tank..
    so inspired that the tank also got a leak..

    I already have a tank in the office that I tried to get the HC to grow...
    but failed 2 times liao..
    initially the tank is smaller, 6x4 inches now this tank is 6x6 inches , square tank think got a little more space to play with but it is leaking now... don't know wanna remove everything and repair the tank or not...
    Sigh....

    Poor fellow, after arranging every things nicely and neatly and discover it was leaking, I can see from the picture that the silicon was very badly done up. Try to repair and restart all over again. Work hard bro.

    HC doesn't grow lay...
    started melting... but another half I put in a container seems like growing well.. but before it start to creep, some turned brown.. sianz...
    maybe because I never change water and no fertilizer added

    got some submerse HCs
    changed the APPs to HC
    hope they will grow in the tank...

    Jervis, think I should termed mine as a pico tank instead of nano.. :P got mixed up with the matric system..
    the plants looked yellow though.. wonder if it is because not enough nutrients..
    till now I still have not dose any fertilizer or CO2..
    enjoy the photo..

    Yes yellowish leaves is a sign of nutrient deficiency... why not dose some nutrients to keep them happy? Do it in moderation
