Hi , trying out planted nano tank. below are some pictures of my tank.
Tank: 30X16X20 cm
Lighting : 2 PL ( 18w )
filter: Ehiem 2211
Sub: ada amazonia II
CO2 injected
Plants: HC, Hair grass and Duck weed

nice growth there

pls correct me if i'm wrong
isn't the flow rate of eden 501 and eheim 2211 the same? Anyway, nice nano scape.. it would be quite nice if the hc manages to carpet.. by the way perhaps you should remove the duck weed because it will block the light from the light hungry hc, which may cause the hc to grow upwards
Thanks bro , 2211 is serving my tank well , ask i got the value to control the flow rate.Originally Posted by Nanami

Will post the full tank shot one day.
i read that the duck weed can take in the excess nurtient and the nitrate to prevent algae that why i put them in the tank.
i will reduce the duck weed to see if my HC carpet.
Since you're injecting CO2, you're better off using a stronger lights
The role of master and servant begin to cloud in the water..
current light is 2 Pl 18 watt. what should be the ideal wattage ?Since you're injecting CO2, you're better off using a stronger lights
is it normal for my HC leaves to be tiny ?
Your light not strong enough so your HC still climbing upwards. Try to get 3+ WPG.
my tank is 30x16x20cm i'm running 18w PL.
trying to source for higher wattage lighting for 1 footer.
Any idea where can i get the lighting ? i tried NA , they only have 18w for 1 footer.
New Rescape with stem plants
Day 1
Day 6

Bro, i prefer your first scape with hair glass. IMO nono tank don't really go well with stem plants.
i would say both are quite nice. but with nano tank, maybe the first setup would be better. then again, anything works if its done properly

i fail on the first setup , because i cant get the temperature down to 24-26 degree. so now trying on stem plants easier i hope
if you want to use stem plants in nano tank, choose the one with smaller leaf. Otherwise it will make your tank look small.
Your HC can't make it? Do you dose any fertilizer?
Yes i dose liquid fertilizers , think the temperature is too high around 30 deg so all starting to melt. i only able to bring down the temperature at night when i on the air con, but not able to in the day time.
i dose seachem Iron , phosphours , flourish and Lush Gro-mircos
i wanted to get the macros soon
Anythings i short ?
ok noted bro , any suggestion what i should put on the foreground to cover up the empty space ?
i just bought a fan, i manage to bring the temperature down to 26 deg
today added some glosso on the foreground
I doubt that your HC melts because of high temperature of 30Deg.
My HC in my 29~30deg 1' cube tank is doing very well.
Maybe your HC is emersed form , which is not easy to convert to submersed form. Your CO2/Light/Dosing might not be in good harmony, resultiing in poor conditions for HC to convert.
I never succeeded in converting HC from emersed to submersed form even in my 26deg tank with 4x39W lighting, 4 bps CO2 24/7 and EI dosing, which every other plants in it grew like weed. However I never have any problem when I have used HC in submersed form.
Some aquarists did tried jump start the HC in a "minimal water" method. They only changed to aquarium only when the HC is thriving. I did planted the HC in my garden with great success, but I never tried to convert them before.
