11L nano for my desk at work
Hi all, been a while since I started a thread so I thought I'd put up a diary of my planted nano at work.
Tank specs
Tank: 11L curved glass tank with built in filter
substrate: Fluval® Shrimp Stratum 2L
Décor: 2 rocks from the LFS
Lighting: custom PAR38 plant light 38cm above substrate
photoperiod: 8 hours
CO2: pressurised with nano diffuser (in transit) 1L upaqua cylinder.
Fertilizer: EI method with home made recipe
water changes: 50% weekly
Plants (to be added)
Blyxa Japonica
Echinodorus vesuvius
Echinodorus tenellus
Livestock (to be added)
10-12 Cherry shrimp
The tank has been running for 2 weeks with the substrate and light as soon as the diffusor arrives I'll plant up.
Here's the pics so far and the PAR readings from around the tank, note plot 5 almost no light is escaping the tank which is what is driving the PAR reading up so high at location 3.
just for giggles a photo of my new baby is included at the bottom, this thing puts out a lot of light, I may have to increase the height to 750mm to get the levels to something more sensible.
