    Re: New nano tank

    I got my anubias Lancelot in today and I really like it. I still haven't decided if I am going to use it in my nano tank or my 10 gallon. I will have to think about it over the weekend.

    Thought I would post pictures of my grow out tanks for fun so here you go. BTW the flame moss you see tied to rocks is only a third of the moss I got. I will be tying lots more rocks, driftwood, and mats. After they take I will probably sell them on the forum.

    Re: New nano tank

    Yes it is and it works great done that way as long as there are no fish in the tank. My PH is currently at 6.4 and it comes out of the tap at 6.8.

    And yes that is a tub of country crock butter spread in there too :)
    Growing out some very small amazons in there and a crypt retrosspiralis.

    Re: New nano tank

    I don't think it would work out well seeing as there is no water in the tank yet :)

    after everything grows in I am planning on putting the RCS in there ;)

    Re: New nano tank

    Yes it is called HC for short, also know as baby tears. the scientific name is Hemianthus Callitrichoides. You probably already know that.

    I just got back from being gone for 3 and a half days and the HC is still alive and looking good. I could be wrong but I think I even see a little new growth.

    Re: New nano tank

    My first time growing HC and I have to say this stuff is growing painfully slow. I feel like putting my head over the tank and shouting at it " whats taking you so long"

    Guess I'm a little impatient.

    I already bought the RCS that will go in the tank. They are swimming around in one of my grow out tanks. At the rate this HC is growing at they are going to be there awhile.

    You really do Aquascape REALLY well! I really like your work.... kind of wish I could do as well :confused: Looking back I wish I would have spent more time on my tank to develop a nice layout like yours.... It is what it is.....

    Re: New nano tank

    Thanks Lemon. I just wish I could take good pictures like you. And you can always change your tank layout however it is much easier on my little 4 gallon than on one of your monster tanks. :)
