Found this online a while back but couldn't find it again until recently, really like this, boring to some I guess but I quite like it.

 

Any members here have anything similar?

I can't help stuffing my tanks with different plants.... But I really like the zen of this tank.

Looks wicked on the sand to. I'd even ditch the floating plants.

Love it too.

The floating plants are probably there to control nutrient build up and help reduce nitrates.

With so little plants to achieve the minimal look, those floating plants are really needed.

You'd be right about the floating plants, frog bit is it?

The colour sand is a nice touch, instead of a dark substrate.

I did it a few months ago. It was very nice, but also kinda boring.

So now I started over with rocks and plants. This was just the beginning phase. At this moment I have a lot more plants already.

It was nice and needed to grow indeed, but just Wood and Fissidens Fox was to simple for me. I only have one aquascape tank and just starting, so this was the first test. Now I want to learn more about growing a green carpet and all kind of plants that should fit in a nano. But when I would have more tanks in a row, one like this would be cool too.

 

Urbanaquaria has some very nice clean aquascapes. I also was inspired by this one:

Urban+Aquaria+-+13+Litre+Nano+Tank+-+04.

 

 

This is also a nice clean example form someone else:

Nice tanks Shrimpmaster.

I'm interested in seeing the back of those tanks, where have you run your filter intake and outflow tubes?

Ugly tubing ruins a clean scape, but yours seem to be invisible.

      Finally set up the 30L Shrimp Tank

      By sdlTBfanUK · Posted

      It has been a few weeks now and I have done a couple of large water changes. I tested the water parameters this morning, GH6 and KH2, TDS 140 and PH 7.5. Obviously the PH is off but there isn't anything in the tank that should cause the PH to rise to this figure so I will just run the tank for another month with 10% weekly water changes (probably just with RO water) and see where we are at that point. The RO water tests at PH6, and the KH and GH in the tank could come down as they are at the upper limits for Caridina shrimps! There are only about 10 very small snails in there at this point, but they seem to be doing well enough.

      Pure Red Line (PRL) Shrimps Western Australia seller

      By sdlTBfanUK · Posted

      I believe these to be very rare in Australia so you may even consider making it a longer term plan and produce your own by starting with the best CRS you can get as that is where the pure lines started! Depends how patient and interested in the project you are, but would save money as well? If I recall correctly it takes from 8 generations of selective breeding? They sell them at micro aquatic shop but do not ship to Western Australia, but that means they are available in Australia. https://microaquaticshop.com.au/products/pure-red-line-grade-ss-shrimp Good luck and just maybe smeone on here may point you in the right direction or be able to supply you with some.

      Is this garden hose end alloy pipe safe to use for aquarium piping?

      By Subtlefly · Posted

      Yes it’s super accurate to position where I want now and stay there- I am satisfied.  All the fish and shrimpers are doing excellent! Coming up on 4 years running!

      You must be pleased with that, it looks better and is much more robust and less likely to damage or leaks! The tank looks very natural now it has been running for a time. I see the ember tetras, how are the blue shrimp doing, I see a few? The cat and dog look very content and unimpressed, lol.
