Hi everyone,

Just to share my 30cm cube tank here.. Just a simple riccia setup with red shrimp...

Nice simple setup.

There's some algae on the wood?

the shrimps looks like playing football

Im using a 24w PL light...My own design IOS with small pump.. My own brand aqua concept soil.. Dose what thing??? Fert?? or what? I pour just a small amount of leaf zone by API.. no water change.. only top up with direct tap water every week.. A cooling fan,,,

I tie my ricia on mesh..

bro dudu, you do crystal glass cube tank?

fish and plants did quite well..

2 feet tank is about 60 litres? More water volume will improve water stability. For myself, I always fail with aquascape without a filter, its encouraging to learn that others have succeeded. I must try it one day again. Betta aquascaped tank!

If I do not have a filter, I will do a daily 50% water change. Fert and excel will depend on the plants used. Easy plants like Java Moss and Java Fern do not need excel, but personally, I will use excel as I believe that all plants will benefit from a ready source of carbon.

last time mine was a fissiden tank.. dose fert once a while..

Fissiden is a very beautiful plant. I will be using it in this scape.

Interesting filter bro, what brand is it? Is it good?

Agreed, the CRS is nice. I failed in them with my Sanzon Iwagumi tank. Bro fireblade, your office is air-com 24/7?
