8 Gallon Nano Tank

by Tang O' from Wisconsin / USA
In the hobby since 1988.

Description

  • Category: American
  • Tank size: 16x11x12 inches = 9 gallons
  • Tank size: 40x27x30 cm = 34 liters

    THis will be my new nano set-up seeing the 2.5 gallon I had had a spider crack throughout the bottom pane of glass. It was this tank for $6.35 or a 2.5 gallon for $10. Planning on completely planting it to make it look like a grassland with some "trees" in the background. No background will be used to allow light from the sun into the tank and help feed the plants.

    Future Inhabitants:

    3x nerite snails
    4x Crystal Red Shrimp
    4x Crystal Black Shrimp

    4x Dario Dario (hopefully 2m/2f)
    or
    4x Elassoma Okeefenokee

Decoration

  • Gravel: Topsoil with turface mix (1 to 1 mix) topped with black sand
  • Plants: Crypt. spirallis
    Dwarf Baby Tears
    Star Moss
    Stem plant (unsure of which at this time)


Technics

  • Light: 48 Watt Compact Flourescent
  • Light-Duration: 14-16 hours a day
  • Filtration: Fluval 1i

    DIY CO2
