Default New nanos


I am in the process of setting up some new planted tanks, and couldn't help but decide to try some nanos. I have three desktops that I set up with SMS as a substrate, and they have the standard 6500K compact florescent bulb in them. I had to make a "hood" for one as I bought them all at a yard sale, and it didn't come with one. Two of them are 5's, one of them is a 6. I am going to post pics of the 6 as it is the one I made the hood for in hopes that someone recognizes the tank, and can tell me a manufacturer (it isn't marked). I would like to just order a hood for it as the one I made looks pathetic . I took my time on it, I just suck at woodworking, if I can find them I will post pics of the hood I tried to make once as proof. Let me know if you would like to see pics of the 5 gllns. I will also try to update the pic below as I have done some hard scaping in the tank and would like to get opinions on it as I am not sure I like it. Thanks.

Here are some pics of the newly planted nano tanks. Let me know what you think. I don't think I am done, but I am currently waiting on plants.

This one is in my bedroom.


This one is in my kitchen.

that's a good start, I like the hardscape. The sag in front of your rocks will cover them up, but I'm guessing you're waiting on a better foreground plant to replace them over time.....
