    Default My 2.5 gallon nano

    Here is my nano shrimp tank. I wish I had taken a picture of it a couple of weeks ago and made this more of a journal. It's always cool to see the plants grow and fill in.

    I just put HC in after the auction. This is my first try with HC so we'll see how well it fills in. I have to let it take hold before I trim it and clean it up a bit. I'm looking forward to scaping the tank as I go along. I'll post better pictures when I get the chance.

    For scale, the tank is 10 inches high and 9.5 inches wide.

    Nice 2.5 gallon setup, annessa. Fooled me as it looks more like a 20+ gallon tank

    Beautiful tank! I love the illusion of size you've created.

    What tank is that by any chance? I am interested in buying the same one.

    Betta guy, if I could find where to buy this tank I would let you know. However, I bought this from someone on the forum and I can't find anywhere to buy these. They are bent glass tanks with a beveled glass bottom. They are sold in a nesting stack of different sizes (5 stacked together I think). Rainforest Pet Spectrum used to sell them and now I'm wishing they were still around so I could buy another! I asked April but she said that you have to buy too many for her to bring them in. Maybe we could convince Rastapus to get some in! They are fantastic looking rimless tanks.
