Planted Nano Comp Idea.

Hi.

Let’s see who would be interested in this. This could be a nice little December Project.

You have 1 month to setup a low tech planted Nano tank. (No C02)
You are only allowed to use x number of plants. Still to think of the amount at this moment I’m thinking of 3-5.
Max size of the tank is 1 foot.
Need to post you progression pics with a date stamp. Minimum of 5 pics.

Prize : Bragging Rights and a Planted Shrimp tank you just setup yourself.

Later Derik.

 

Can i enter a 30x30x30cm cube? and it has been running for like a year now? :cheesy:

 

Would like the people to start from scratch.
30cm cube is fine though

 

I'm definitely in!

 

Cool Thanks.
Come one people.. This could be fun.

 

Oic, but in a month, the tank will not grow in, especially with low tech..

 

Exactly. That the challange.
Dont have to be fully planted

 

I have a 1 week old nano.... id be keen..

 

Lol I'm game. Have a nano that was stocked but now is empty Muhahaha.... Allowed to use driftwood? ... And 5 species of plant or 5 plants...

 

Any hardscape. Just a limit on the plants.
Dont want to over complicate it for bigenners with lots of plants. Then for long time planted tank keepers just to through a buch of trimming in and win. If that makes sense

 

A competition like this got me into aquascaping a few years ago. Sean (mr ADA) launched a comp just like this with big prizes. This takes a lot of dedication but great results can be achieved.

this was my initial setup:


then a few weeks later:


then a rescape and final layout:


this is all grown with a CFL light and PFS for substrate and then added liquid ferts.

so it can be done

 

Plant species is limited

 

Im actually trying to get hold of sean.

 

If time allow I would be keen.

 

Im keen

 

I'm in.

 

Can you give a max volume for the tank size?

 

No,I would rather spend my time and energy on IAPLC 2016.
Local competitions never seem to work.:blink1:

 

Tried to see some pics of aquariums but I can't find anything. Do you have a link to pics?

 

Just check images after googling IAPLC results
