1 feet tank
13W PL clip on
hang on filter.
1 fan which is off most of the time.

not much dosage of fertiliser. "sometimes" will put abit excel/flourish/NPK.
no co2

flame moss on mesh
spiky moss on driftwood
and riccia floating on top

only keeping cherry shrimps and a guppy to prevent mosquito from breeding.

otto to eat algae.

hmm... tank temperature around 28 - 30 degree celcius. most of the time

i also dunno why can grow until like that..

no much attention given much to this tank.

lighting hours also varies. sometimes go out late.. nobody off lights for me also.. sometimes on a few hours only.. could this be the reason ?

Hey I really like this setup! Might try it with an even smaller tank for shrimp hehe. Do your cherries breed in there? Also, what substrate are you using?
