To Make Me Leave My Nano Alone....

[nurglespuss]

There we go 13L Pets at Home 'My first fishtank' (£15), comes with nice little power filter, plastic canopy, very bright gravel (have hidden that ;P) stickers etc.

I also bought a pets at home led bar light (£12) and had a mini 25W heater spare, substrate is a mix of florabase complete and sand, with some washed rocks from the garden, and a couple of ceramic planting rings left over

Plants were bunches (2 for £4) from pets at home, don't know how they will do, but if they do terribly, I'll use plastic ;P

Going to let the girls pick inhabitant(s) from pets at home stock (hopefully a male fighter, or a couple of guppies).

And there we are, simple and fun, and done in 30 minutes!

Looks good.
I use the same for a quarantine/hospital tank.
Good little tanks to have around for emergencies.
We got ours from B & M for £9 but with a bubble filter, pump, plastic plant and fish food.
Any idea what your plant on the right is called? I have loads of it.

 

[nurglespuss]

I'll be honest, not a clue! I just bought the two healthiest for the least money ;P

But I 'think' its water sprite...

 

[StandbySetting]

The plant on the left is Hygrophila polysperma and on the right is indeed Ceratopteris thalictroides or Water Sprite

That Water Sprite grows like crazy

Thats exactly how I got it.
One bunch now all 5 of my tanks has some in it.

 

[nurglespuss]

Great!!

I hope it does so well in this little tank ;P

One slight issue, the included filter has since developed an annoying hum (have checked for air etc, just a cheapo filter) Will be replacing with one of my usual HOB's asap...

But its such a cute little tank ;P

The mini-filter I had in my shrimp tank did the same. Having it in my bedroom was annoying! I should really get round to setting that little tank back up! Just need a bulb

 

[nurglespuss]

Yeah I stripped down a second even minier filter, now running silently ;D

 

[SchottayB]

Good job! Keep us updated on the tank

Wheres my Vallis?

I might be going down the route of Harlequins again, 4 of my Cardinals have kicked the bucket! Ever since posting on your thread about yours doing no good. Darn you!! lol

#29###!

Harlequins are lovely.... and are something I've never really kept....

I get the feeling the little LED bar probably isn't doing much, so will probably pick up yet another arcpod for it ;P

LOL! Don't blame me!! Your Vallis is now split between three tanks, but it's getting nailed in one of the tanks by a pair of rainbow cichlids... Going to remove it, grow it on then you can have what you want... along with an Ellioti... If you still want him! What am i getting in return though now you're keeping the Rasboras?

I am thinking of going to get one of these Nano's from P@H like yours in your original thread...Would the LED light be suitable for low tec setup with undemanding plants such as Java Fern, Java Moss and Anubias?

Thanks.

Urmmm. I might still get rid and buy 10 baby ones to grow . Just the distance that's a pain! But yes I do want Vallis and Ellioti
