Hey guys, finally time for a new build!
This is going to be a standard 2.5 gallon glass tank, I'm not really satisfied with the 2.5 mini bow that Richard the puffer and Wilson the cray are in now. I recently just reshaped the tank, and now I have to take it all down again! :face palm: Ok but now on a serious note:
Filter: Zoo Med Nano 10 Canister (Please let me know if this is good and if anyone has had experience with this filter)
Tank: Standard glass 2.5 gallon
Heater: No heater because my room gets pretty warm
Light: Nothing special, just a desk light that I'm going to get from Ikea or Target or wherever
Co2: Hopefully I'll be doing DIY Co2, doesn't seem too hard, and I have the space
Plants: So far I have Dwarf Sag and Micro Sword and a Marimo Moss Ball
Ferts/Dosing: API Root Tabs and API Co2 Liquid Booster
Fish: Dwarf Puffer and Dwarf Blue Cray
So this is kind of a build thread, hopefully it won't die like my last ones did......
I don't know how to post pictures, so you'll just have to bear with me. Right now my only question is if I need the DIY Co2 or will the root tabs and dosing be enough to get really good plant growth? Also, has anyone had any experience with that Zoo Med Canister? It looks really great, but I don't want to go out and spend $45 on a bad filter. And what plants would you guys still add? I'm open to any suggestion! That's it guys! Oh, and the video I attached is of the tank, don't know if you can watch it or not, hopefully you can.
