Lately, I've been enjoying planting nano-sized tanks. Here are 2 of my recent set-ups.
The fist photo is of a Dymax IQ3 nano tank. I got it from BigAlsOnline.ca. It's really tiny -- approximately 6 litres, by my measurement, including the water in the filter. (I think that the tank itself is about 1 to 1.2 gallons) One of my kids looked at it and said, "Oh, how cute! It looks like a miniature aquarium diurama! Even the plants are tiny!"
The IQ3 is planted with plants from Tim Burton (AquaFlora), and Scholz gave me the nano-sized driftwood and rocks. The light is an LED and it comes with the tank. The filter is built into the tank, too.
The second tank is an 8 gallon rimless that I got from Corwin (Munster Tanks). I have already posted this picture on a page in the sponsor section, but I thought I'd include it here. The plants in this tank are also mostly from Tim at AquaFlora, with a couple from Stuart (CRS_Fan). The light is a 15Watt Macro-Glo from BigAls and the filter is an Eheim Liberty from Island Pets.
Both tanks have Eco-Complete as a substrate. The 8 gallon rimless is home to a few endlers and cherry shrimp but the IQ3 has only flora at this time.
