Attempt on my new 1.5ft tank

[kingkong007]

Saw this tank last week and could not resist the temptation. I wanted a nano setup but don't really like a cube or a normal 1 feet tank. So when I saw this tank I knew I have to get it Dimensions are 45 x 19 x 21cm. just long enough for my requirement by much smaller than a traditional 1.5 ft tank or a 1 ft cube.

Current setup:
Filter - Boyu EF-05 Mini Canister
Substrate - JBJ Base fertilizer topped with fine black quartz sand
Lighting - Boyu 18 watt PL Light 6400k
Co2 - DIY using yeast method
Plants - Java fern, Mini Nana, Java & xmas Moss, Japanese Hairgrass and "No idea what is the name" plant covering the open back
Hardscape - 2 pcs of driftwood
Temperature - 26 to 28 degrees Celsius
Residents - 3 x Zebra Danios, 8 x Neon Tetra, 2 x Leopard Corydoras & 1 x Ramshorn snail

Current setup is only one day old. I used 70% of matured water with 30% fresh water. So I guess I don't really need to cycle the tank as my as non of the fishes showed any sign of distress.

Commets are welcome

Nice work, bro. Can't ready spot the mini nana at the corner of the tank, maybe you can place them in a more prominent area or tied it to the driftwood.

Thanks Had actually wanted to tie the nana to the driftwood somewhere at the current location but I only realised I had forgot about it when almost finished filling up with water... So in the end I just put it to it's current place. Anyway my 2 cories like to hide under the rhizome of the nana.
