Default 6 Gallon for the desk.

Hello

My name is Fabien, from France

I want to introduce you my 6 gallon ( 20 liters ). 40*20*25cm

Today the tank is OFF. But i think it was a good idea to share the evolution and growth of this little tank ; 100% NPT !

no co2, no ferts, no watter change.

topsoil + jbl manado
FC 18w 1200lm 10 000°k
dennerle pump for water movement.
heater 10w at the begining, then nothing. Tanychtys don't need a heater.


here it is :

1st month



2nd month



3rd month



4th month





5th / 6th month




7th / 8th month

( new lightning 23w 6500k )






i have no pics after...

no algae at all, healthy little fish,

what else.... hm i have another idea for a new tank 5 gallon NPT cube, like a riparium.

Nice little tank! I love to see plants climbing out of the top like that. Those desk lamps with spiral compect fluorescents work very well on small tanks.

yes they are not expensive, and works well.

but only on small tanks one 18w or 23w for 20 liters

and one 23w or 27w for 30 liters


for the next tanks i will use a 27w on 20liters, but installed higher for a good aerial growing.
