Aquarium Advice Freak
Hey guys!
About 6 months ago I came across a thread on UKAPS, which chronicled their Pico Aquascaping Contest (link: UKAPS Pico Contest Judging thread. | UK Aquatic Plant Society). The thread showcased many pico tanks, some that were truly amazing. After seeing this thread I was inspired to set up a pico tank of my own. The concept of growing aquatic plants at such as small scale appealed to me greatly. So now I am preparing to do so. This will be my first attempt at a pico tank and my first time setting up a tank in about 1 year. So I am very excited to start this build!
The preliminary specs are:
0.1g Cube Vase
"Manzanita" Driftwood
ADA Aquasoil (Amazonia/Normal)
LED Desk lamp
No Filter
No Heater
Ferts:
Flourish
Flourish Excel
Flourish Iron
API Co2 Booster
(dosing with 3ml pipette)
Plants:
Hemianthus callitrichoides
Utricularia graminifolia
Monosolenium tenerum
Fissidens fontanus
Rotala 'Bonsai'
Pogostomen helferi
Stock:
Undecided, may not stock
I added some pics as well
I'm open to suggestions and constructive criticism. My hope is to begin scaping/planting this week/weekend, at which time I'll post more pics.
Thanks for looking!
