I setup this little tank a few weeks ago with clippings from my other tank. Seems to be doing pretty good so far.

Looking good. I love the cube and stand - very elegant! Where did you get it?

Very nice cube setup, it looks very nice. A great tank for a Betta or maybe a couple shrimp.

Wow House of Cards,

I tend to impress me every time!!!

Very simple yet elegant!

Can you detail more about the tank. Plants, light, size, and I really would like to know what is the plant sticking out of the tank? This would be a great plant for my future wabi-kusi!

Also the shrimp you sent are doing great and awesome coloring too!

Wow talk about a neat table decoration. Also I like the choice of the white lamp as it blends in with the wall.

Thanks Steve. As epicfish pointed out the tank and stand is actually a candlestick holder from the "exotic" retail shelves of Pier 1.

Happy shopping. Just so you know I bought the "tank" about a year ago, so not sure if they still stock it.

I saw something similar to what you have at Michael's Arts and Crafts store.

 

[keysturtle]

Even if Pier One doesn't sell this one anymore, they're almost sure to have something similar. They have vases and candle holders galore. Don't know why I didn't think of this before! #-o

A little update. I changed the background plant from Blyxa/Purple Bamboo to L. Acruata/Rotala sp green (just for a change)

The tank is about 2 months old and has been function without a filter. Plants continue to grow well without any algae issues.

Love it, love it, love it. You got me hooked on this style now.

Here I come Pier One or Michaels.

Again, beautiful.

regards,
Ravi

I really like it. Thank for giving me an awesome idea about the small tank on my table. Just one thing that I think the Hygrophila sp. Roraima maybe too big with your tank. Changing it with hairgrass might help ur tank looks better.
