Here's my 12x8x8" with Microrasbora nana, dwarf riccia and haigrass.

I sold the tank a good while ago but it was nice to see this clip after all this time.

It was taken when Practical Fishkeeping (PFK) magazine did a photo shoot. Here's a few low-res photos, courtesy of PFK.

Very nice! I liked how you showed first the close up and then a scale. i definitely felt like the tank was bigger than in reality!

Thanks everyone. I loved this little tank and was sad to see it go, but it was HIGH maintenance!

I've edited the original post so you can view the photos via the links.

Thanks again,
George

Fantastic Tank! Just blown away when I saw the last photo with you in it for scale. I'm amazed how large the aquascape makes the tank appear.

Wow, looks great. I might have to get me some dwarf riccia now.

What was the lighting and filtration on this setup?
