I've started with small tanks and will continue to use small tanks because my place has space constraints.

These are the plants that are suitable for small tanks.

quoted from thekrib.com

A.b. var. nana, Java Moss,
Java Fern, (narrow leaf
and 'Windelov')
Rotala wallachii,
R. macrandra,
Micranthemum,
Glossostigma,
Cryptocoryne wendtii,
C. affinis,
Echinodorus tenellus,
E. quadricostatus,
Riccia,
Didiplis diandra
Mayaca fluviatilis.

Use a typical hang on/clip on filter or an external canister.
Not sure about buffer range...my ph levels ranges from 5.9 to 6.5. I use a ft - or 32 x 22 x 22 tank.

Big problem with nanos is that... you can't have too many fish. e.g. a 20 cm tank should not contain 8 cardinals, but 8 is the minimum number for fish to have schooling behavior...
