Title: Nano tanks
Post by: Ron Sower on October 11, 2013, 09:04:13 AM
Anyone on here have Nano tanks besides me.  I have 6 at the moment. 4 of them are Evolve8.  Love them with their totally enclosed filtration. The lights suck if you want to seriously grow plants, so I removed them and add Finnex LEDs. One drawback to the tank itself is that it is made of acrylic and therefore I need to take special care to clean algae from the sides.

When I was keeping Java moss in one with my CPDs I took the moss out and dropped it into another tank and fry hatched. Did a similar thing with some rice fish. I keep guppies in a 12g Mr Aqua bookshelf tank with lilies. The fry lay up in the tops of the leaves and survive.
I have a small group of N. multifaciatus in a 6g Fluval Edge which I've modified to basically a plain 6g tank with the small Aquaclear on it.

I plant all of them but the shellies.....why bother?

If you are keeping nanos, what are you stocking? And are you breeding any fish in them?

I don't have any but have been thinking of doing a nano saltwater tank. I think about it a few times a year. I haven't done saltwater before and to be honest I'm a little scared of it. If I did do one it would have to wait until after Christmas. By then I will probably change my mind.
