Beautiful and, as has been said, surprisingly small. Would you mind sharing any technical details with regard to lighting, CO2, et cetera?

Thanks.

Lighting is 24w PC 6500K for 8 hours.

CO2 is through glass/ceramic diffuser with lights into filter flow for good CO2 mist circulation.

Ferts are TMG 1ml per day. 50% water change every other day. Tap has high NO3/PO4 and is hard.

Substrate is soil under 1-2mm quartz.

Filter is 160lph HOB.

I sold the tank and gear because it was too high maintenance for my busy life..... Fun while it lasted though. I'm a slow grower now!

Thanks for the feedback, everyone. I really appreciate it.

I hope to be able to show you my latest 125 litre (33G) 'scape soon. I'm waiting on my new camera first.

It's low-maint with crypts, ferns and anubias. Stocked with pentazona barbs.

Ever since I saw this on PFK's website I've always considered it one of my favourites, thx for sharing the technical details. Hairgrass looks awsome in that tank, reason enough to try a soil-based substrate in my nano? Definitely going to consider it in my next setup since I can't get any aquasoil or similar products.

This is very nice. This is similar to the design and look I'm going for with my new 60P. It's still a ways off only just started 2 weeks ago....
