Wooohoooo, yay for FaceBook, put a call out for Needle leaf java and got myself a big bunch to pick up in my city, not far from me after Xmas!! Wrapped with that!

A pic of the wood i am hoping will fit this tank without too much modifying (if it wont fit, i will be choosing a different nano tank out of my collection, am really wanting to use the AquaStart though!)

 

[Alasse]

The canister is ordered, will prolly take 3 weeks to arrive at this time of year....tis all good though, gives me time to purchase a small heater for the tank

Nice piece of wood, will look nice with moss growing on it.

 

[Alasse]

Probably no moss going into this tank,,,,,i want the wood to be showing its lovely gold colour

How exciting! Glad you were able to find the needle leaf java.
That wood looks quite lovely Will be following this.

Can't wait to see your progress!

I've pretty much got everything here, i just need the canister to arrive

 

[Alasse]

Canister should arrive next week, i have many of the plants in holding tanks, just need to work out a substrate, and get a nano CO2 diffuser for the DIY setup

 

[Ninjouzata]

Next week needs to be here already!

 

[Alasse]

I agree lol

 

[Alasse]

Canister is here!!!
 
Will be pulling the tank in from the shed tomorrow and giving it a good clean, substrate has changed, doing DIY substrate for this tank. Waiting on one more lot of plants to arrive, should be here possibly tommorow or Friday. But even without them i can start basic scaping it.

 

[Ninjouzata]

Woohoo!!! Can't wait to see some pictures

I ended up ordering Flourite substrate for this tank, should be here Mon or Tues all going well
