look very small, what is the size of the jar?
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..

look very small, what is the size of the jar?
it is 4 inch by 4 inch...
looks difficult to plant..![]()
foreground plants will be difficult, but no necessary stem ones.
This is a pico tankI like the slope a lot! I guess you will be wrapping the opening with shrink wrap for your emerse HC planting

sigh...
I keep mixing up pico and nano...
yes I will try to grow them emersed... no luck with submersed ones...
will start to plant if I can find a longer pincer.. currently my short pincer cann reach the front..
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

hey hey great nank in the making!!!!
Its a nank... If light is a problem just put the whole jar out near the window and move it back again in the evening...
Finally back to the Aquatic world!
very interesting
why do you wrap the jar with nylon? to keep wet environment?

Is it just me or is there some kinda goop on your gravel?
4inch x 4inch still considered nano la...
my pico is 6cm x 4cm.
Thank youit is after seeing your nank then I decided to get more serious in having this..
trying to plant HC and my HC are emersed form.. I suppose the downoi also emersed form so cover it with the plastic.
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![]()
bro..u still have Elatine Tiandra for sale/giveaway?![]()
Formally known as EpiCentre in AQ
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.
ck
Not sure lay.. thought growing the plants this way will not need to worry about CO2?
Elantine Tiandra all gone..no more liao..
a little update
Did more planting of HC to fill up the gap with a planted pincer.. my! the experience is different from using the $1 pincer!! so easy to plant and pick up the plants!!
some photo update..
Top view looks like to downoi is turning yellow..is it not enough light?
how it looks on my desk.. put it slanted because wat the water to reach the back part which is the higher ground.

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..
