Office space planted nano concept.

[Rcguerra]

The second wave of plants arrived today in better shape than the first wave. The plants show signs of fatigue feom traveling, but I believe the majority will make it:










I have no clue what to do with the all kinds of moss that I received. The driftwood cannot be removed, no nylon is not a realistic choice. Any tips and tricks?

Small black cable/zip ties for the moss. Will grow over and hide them eventually

Nice plants! Good to see they arrived alive. BTW, how do you like the LED fixture so far?

 

[Rcguerra]

The loght is intense. I am considering finishing my last batch of bettas and start working on plants instead (aquatic or not). We only get 6 hours of light in the winter in Boston, but with these lights I might consider something fast growing likes shefflera arboricola or succulents like jade trees.

I am brand new to this forum, and I just spent the last hour going through reading every single post on this. Wow. I didn't know people actually put that much thought into their tanks. Looks amazing by the way! Can't wait to see what it turns into!

 

[Rcguerra]

Thank you.

On a side note, look what I found on kickstarter. I think we could choose a tank size (12"x12"?) and make some custom plant pots to fit the entire bottom. Easy to plant, trim, clean and replace ferts under the substrate.

I like the concept of the tank, but the beveled edge that goes around it makes it hard to really enjoy the fish IMO

Plus 1. Also imo i hate any tank with a rounded edge. Think it takes away some enjoyment of viewing the fish/plants

Great concept but I'd go for the hydrofarm deal they have at petco..

Interesting.. the tank itself reminds me of the biorb, which I had at one point. Worse tank ever (major distorted view).. haha

Here's a similar concept but with a cube rimless tank. I actually know these guys (well, sort of), so I might get to test one soon.

What I really liked about it was the modular substrate. We could make 3 types (foreground, midground and background) and be able to swap an entire concept by changing 1/6 of the tank (I imagine 3 rectangular areas on the right and 3 on the left). they could even have magnets on the edge and be able to remove them with a magnetic rod.

Things are looking a lot better: most of the plants that were curvy and yellow are now back to a normal level of rigidity. Frogbits are all regrowing their roots and all the AR are showing small sprouting leaflets.



On a side subject, G. Hartzell & Son surgical supplies just had one of their sales reps visiting the school. Special price for the faculty and staff.

Cool! Thats pretty hardcore huh.

 

[Brian_Nano12g]

Love the before and after shots. Really puts things into perspective of what improved.

 

[Rcguerra]

Now that the frogbits are 100% recovered, I might remove them from this tank. The roots are really long when you take in consideration the Nano aspect of it.
