    after seeing all the nice mini jars, hands got itchy again.... :P
    hopefully this time it will look better..
    plants I intend to use HC..

    now thinking how can I do planting.. trying to look for a long thin pincer.. any idea where to get a cheap one?
    hopefully when I filled it up with water, the slope is still there..
    any comments are welcome..

    foreground plants will be difficult, but no necessary stem ones.

    This is a pico tank I like the slope a lot! I guess you will be wrapping the opening with shrink wrap for your emerse HC planting

    did a rescape to the stones and added root monster as base fertilizer..
    planning to plant HCs but today bought a pot of Downi and planted it in..
    Comments please..

    Do you think the light is strong enough? I am using those reading light that is meant for connecting to notebook ..
    it consists of 10 small white LEDs but with 3 blown. so down to 7 white LEDs

    very interesting
    why do you wrap the jar with nylon? to keep wet environment?

    trying to plant HC and my HC are emersed form.. I suppose the downoi also emersed form so cover it with the plastic.

    my pico is 6cm x 4cm.
    think it is the water reflection that make it looks like goop..
    ok.. will consider that as a nano then..

    Downoi is an interesting choice of plant... but squeezing them to one corner of the "nank" will not bring out the best of them. Continue to update us

    OT: Still got lots of smaller units to use.
    After nano, pico, femto, atto, zepto, yocto (1E-24)... although practically, the lowest unit that I ever practically used is pico.

    removed 2 downoi and bring it back home to be kept in my 2 feet tank hopefully they will survive as I noticed that it shed a lot of leaves

    should I add in liquid fertilizer ? or can just leave it and wait for growth?

    sad to say that the 2 downoi I brought home melted till I cannot find anything..

    a little update on this jar.. glad that the downoi is still surviving with little leave turning yellow..
    looking like the HC are spreading also.. hope that they can grow faster though..
    till now no liquid fert being added..
    looks like algea is forming on the glass though..

    top view..
