Default 5G Low cost/tech nano
This is a nano I put together a couple of weeks ago using a tank that wasn't being used and mostly cuttings from my 72G. I'll probably play around with it alot. Currently the riccia is still growing in to complete the carpet and the rotala might be too large a leaf size, but as I said it was made from clippings.

The specs:

Tank: 5G AGA with frame removed
Light: 18watt Coralife Mini Aqualight suspended with picture wire
filtration: Red Sea Nano Filter
Substrate: Eco complete
Flora: Riccia fluitans, Rotala rotundifolia, Vesicularia dubyana
Fauna: Cherry Red Shrimps
Ferts: No3, Po4, Flourish, Excel
