Fuzz's Nano world

[Fuzz]

Hi been wanting to have a nano tank for awhile, finally setup a 30x30 cube

pH 6.8-7.5
Temp 27C
Filter: Eheim 2028
Chiller: Artica 1/10hp
Lighting: 1x 24W PL

Here's some pix

rarely see a l46 in a planted tank , also how's the flow of 2028 on the 30 cm cube ?

Wa dude, your angels wouldn't go have a taste of fresh shrimps?

Hey... nice tank... HC looking good. Same question... 2028 in a 30cm cube seems like might cause a whirlpool. Also tank seems to be overstocked.

The 2028 is about 1050l/h so it's highly over-powered. I had to loop it through chiller & fluidize reactor & CO2 reactor chambers, also the CO2 reactor chamber has a controlled output for 1 of the 2 outputs, as such I can adjust the get the right amount of flow for the cube.

It did nip the shrimps when I first introduce it... but nowadays it doesn't touch them anymore... maybe cos it is well fed and also that it's still a juvenile altum.

Need to control the flow using a reactor with control lever. Yes I tend to overstock my tank hehe... that's why I'm using 2028. I do 20-30% RO water change every 2-3days.

I believe you have plans for expansion? Nanos are not suitable for altums given their long finage. Nice scape too!!

yes... finding a space for expansion... probably get a 150L tank for my next project

I think a 2ft tank will be more suitable!
With this setting abit overkill.

Will probably upgrade to a bigger tank soon I guess

Any chances to let us peek capturing a front shot?

The 2nd pix is the full front shot from edge to edge of the tank. Will try to shoot with the full tank shot tonight... in the mean time, you can view the pix here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/c3pio/s...th/6143543461/

Really nice nano, but too small for so many fish.
