When i go round my mums this week i am picking up a brand new nano for £30.Brand new worth £55 at shops.It's got marine kind lights but i will have to change thme with a bit more money.I'm just gona cycle it for 3 weeks with a load of wisteria

well that's cool, you got a pic of your potential theme or.. the tank itself.... I'd love to do one of these nano's for my office at work.. maybe one day

Well i plan for bottem covering to have peice of slate (which covers the whole tanK) with grassy moss.Probably the java moss i already have if not would you reccomend any other which will stick to slate?I don't really have a clue what else i am going to do.Any ideas?

I've had great success with the Hagen product. That's what I used when I had my nano up and running. And someday when I set it up again, that's what I 'll use on it!

Regarding the Yellow Brick Road -- that sounds pretty cool -- gives you lots of different scenes to choose from (the dark forest, the poppy fields, etc..)

It would be good with red plants and a mixture of bushy plants do you think?,but these all require high lighting(atleast the red plants) .Going out very soon to get it now!

Get the hagen nutrafin and use the pinned recipe.

You could try Riccia.

I have the tank! .Here are some pics

I just added some baby vallis dubyana from my other tank plus a golden barb (his friends are long gone ) to help cycle.I have also put a mature filter pad in it and fild it with 75% of my discus water and the rest bottled water.

[Is that the azoo tank about 28l with the 2 lights switches (one normal & one moon) that has the compartments in the back ?

If so, are you putting a heater in there and does it fit in the back compartment if you are ? Was looking at this in my LFS to take my betta and put it in the kitchen for her-who-wants-a-no-fuss-tank

p.s. where did you get it for £30 instead of the £50 I have seen it for ?

 

[cheesy feet]

Yeh thats the tank bought it second hand,but it's B-NEW!There would be space for a 50 W heater(as the filter is so big),but our lounge is so warm (because of our vivs/tanks) i don't need heaters any more ,haha.Btw the lights have a good effect...i dunno what watt they are though

I just ordered £ 10.00 worth of plants,lol(i know a bit over done).I ordered 15 -Four leaf Clover
A very unusual aquarium plant as the name suggests, spreads across aquarium from underground runners.
Origin Height Ph Light Temp
Asia 3 to 4 inches 6.5-8 Moderate 58-70
5-Wheat Plant
A mid to foreground plant
Origin Height Light Temp
Malaysia 5 to 7 inches Moderate 71.6

and 5 of something else but i forgot lol..

Trouble is this tank has built in lighting,and i dunno what wattage they are.
