Hi everyone,

This is my first nano and attempt at aquascaping with stones.

12x8x8" Clearseal aquarium


Hood and lighting gear (18w PC T5 Interpet Triplus with (to be modified) 12" Arcadia T8/T12 reflector


Hood and DIY fitment of T8 reflector


Installing compost substrate (5-10mm depth)


Installing quartz substrate


Aquarium lighting


Full-frontal


Selection of stones collected from East Falkland Island


Now for the tough bit - stone composition!

Any comments welcome. I'm the first to admit that I'm a talentless enthusiast when it comes to aquascape design so I expect to be moving the stones about a lot more yet!





Aquascape will be ultra-simple to start with - carpet of glosso. If that work's OK then switch to HC and take it from there.

Quick spec -

Tank - 12x8x8" AGA (12 l. / 3 gal.)
Lighting - 8.5" 18w PC T5 Interpet Triplus
CO2 - Pressurized, mist
Ferts - undecided, probably daily trace and macros when required, big regular water changes
Substrate - Loam-based compost, 1-2mm quartz
Filter - Hagen internal - 120 lph (10x turnover)
Animals - none planned yet, plan on super high CO2 to combat potential early algae issues
Plants - glosso

Any comments welcome. Thanks.
