1-G Pico w/LED lighting
I had this glass container in the back of the closet for years after someone gave it to me
as a gift and thought I would put it to use. The wood is a Manzanita burl root and the
plants are Xmas moss & Java Fern. I used oak leaves for the substrate. I also have two
Endler fry along with several livebearer snails. The lighting is 3 LED desk lights from Frys.
The plants & wood were all in a 20 gallon Endler tank that I took down a couple of months
ago. I had been using the LED desk light for lighting the 20 gallon tank for several months
along with indict light from an adjacent window. The plants grow slowly with the LED lighting
with practically no algae growth, which should work well on this tiny tank. Hair algae had been
a problem on the 20 gallon tank when I was running PC lamps, but practically disappeared with
the LED lighting.
