    Default Planted Fluval Spec nano desk tank

    First, I'd like to thank all the people here that helped me get back into this hobby. The plants and fish were from members and everyone was really nice and knowledgable.

    Here's my low maintenance planted Fluval Spec I keep on my desk at work. I wanted to keep the plants simple and easy to take care, since well, I have work to do Endless fun to look at, and everyone seems to like it.

    Oh, hey! That's a great-looking tank! And it reminds me, I still haven't set up a Spec and it's on my bucket list. (lol)

    Your plants are beautifully green. I can see how this tank would brighten your day at work.

    For a heater, I'm using one of those small Hydor heaters that I put in the filter/pump area behind the tank. The plants in that picture were java fern, anubias, and few different kinds of moss. They all seemed to grow ok with that light, nothing great or anything. The Spec is small, and you are limited in what you can do/put into the tank, but it does look good. Kinda like using a Mac

    Redid the tank with different plants and some RCS. This is about a month in and the plants are growing fine with the stock light and indirect sunlight. The tank is way too distracting, I can watch it all day and do no work
