Old Nano With ASII

ok so a while back Raymond gave me some of his ASII for my UG to propogate. i decided to setup my nanno again. its a plain standard daro nano tank.. very good size actually

Spud (the wise one as usual) gave me some suggestions that i should grow it emmersed for a while






since it was winter, growth was quite slow..

but after getting enough growth, i decided to fill it up
ASII is cool but if ur using tap water it leaches and water goes yellow even with RO water eventually, my water was still yellow and i was doing 100% wc weekly..



it currently houses my more hard to keep plants. i blast it with co2, ferts, filtration and lights..this is how it looks now:


doesnt have any fish in yet.. going to add some nano fish soon

pic of downoi that i almost lost:

 

Thats flippen cool dude!!!!!!

 

Schweet little nano Dude! that Rotalla sp. nanjenshan looks dang happy! Wiping drool off face over those downoi's... the carpet - is it L.brasiliensis?

 

thats not nanjeshan its Rotala wallichii.. carpet is UG- Utricularia Graminifolia.. to my knowledge very very little ppl in sa has it thats why it went in this tank so i dont lose it!

 

I want some!! And wallichi!!!!!

 

@shihr - growing like that,thereis no chance of losing it!!!

 

thanks guys.. so nano fish? suggestions? i got some Kubotai already in a nother tank so want to try something diff in this one..

 

You cant beat old skool dude! White Clouds - always look good... Otherwise a trio (1 x male;2 x female) Honey Gouramis for a completely different look...

 

Honey Gouramis would be too big for a 1ft tank, me thinks. Some Chilli rasboras would be awesome! Like Mr Amano says, if you don't have any red plants, add red fish!!

 

12l of water;3 x Honey Gouramis @ 2.5cm-3cm each = 4l per fish....way adequate - use to breed mine in 1 footers....

 

hmm or sparking gouramis!! very understated in pics but in person they will liven the tank up! chilli rasboras bit out of my budget atm ;(.. they so cool though!!

 

Sparkling Gouramis are awesome!! I have always wanted those little guys!

 

i had some previously.. lost them though but they are very cool!

 

So how many months of growth is that? It looks awesome with that thick carpet

 

3-4 months? did much better underwater with added co2 and bigger lights..

 

galaxy rasboras!!!! petstop has some in now and they awesome

 

how much are they?

 

Wait, when did PetStop get galaxy rasboras?!
That was on like half the people's wishlists on Moolis' thread

 

Man dis is soooo cool, I really need to be educated on growing plants!

 

last week already hey they R38 each and they juvis but very cool i have 8 now i went and boguht another 2 this week lol i coudnt help myself. they are starting to mature and get their colours in. you guys better run for em though there are alot less then there was.
