About 3 weeks ago I picked up this nice little 10 gallon nano cube. THe brand is "Cube Masters". It is a Chinese import. I was surprised by the decent quality.
Here are a few pics of the Nano. These were taken before I aqua scaped it. I just tossed some stuff in from my clippings. Heh, the water was still muddy in fact from the intial fill... I did the decor blind
Last weekend I made a trip to AquaForest and Ocean Aquarium in SF to get a nice group of plants. I will take some shots this weekend and post them. I tried to only get plant species that I hade never seen before. So teh tank has a nice, and unusual assortment of plants now. Eventually it may house my Dwarf Gourami's for breeding. I may even go entire Asian biope to make the DG's even happier. For now it has some plants and snails. While I was up there I also picked up a couple very exotic guppies to live in ther for now. The tank started with used bio-media from another tank, and it's heavily planted. So there was minimal cycling.
So I was already planning a few modifications to make it more DG friendly. Such as piping the outflow to mid tank and dispersing the flow a bit. One nice thing about actinics is they make the Blue in DG's glow. I may end up leaving it.
The total flexibility of the filter system is what sold me on these Nano cubes.
Here is the box.
