Hi all.
New face to the forum but a long time fish keeper with a big interest in tropical set ups. I usually keep larger tanks, but recently have had a sudden fascination with smaller nano set ups and the beauty of some of the fish that people have been keeping in them.
Fast forward to now, and I am about to start out on my own nano build (I say nano, it is for me, but some may consider it a bit big..).
Tank
Dennerle Nano Cube (60l or 15g)
38 x 38 x 43cm
Lighting
Dennerle 8w LED L
Filter
Dennerle Corner Filter XL - though may replace with a spare Cristal Profi external filter that I have.
Substrate
Black Sulawesi Sand
Plants
Anubis Bonsai, Cryptocoryne Bullosa, Cryptocoryne Parva, Cryptocoryne Petchii, Cryptocoryne Undulatus Red, Staurogyne Repens and Hygrophila Corymbosa.
Décor
4 mixed pieces of bogwood and some dragon rock stone
The idea is to create a heavily planted tank to house my 4 Hera Jerdoni as well as find a few other new tank mates that will share this with them. Likely Dario Dario or Celestial Pearl Danios but I have plenty of time to consider stocking.
I will update this as I go (and with pictures too). Feel free to add suggestions for stocking as its always interesting to see what others would do and hopefully I can share this first venture with you all.
