What has been taken down? The tank or the pictures?

The tank. But, I will be starting another thread soon, on my two 1 feet tanks. One already planted and in its early months, the other still at the planning stage.

pH is actually not that much of an issue unless you intend to keep fauna that requires high pH. Most fauna will be able to deal with it unless it's really acidic, like below 5.

I see.... thanks

Btw, if I have only some plants and shrimps in my nano tank, do i have to feed them? what to feed?

I feed them food from the Hikari range. Crab Cuisine, Algae Wafers, etc.

fan used on a nano tank, the amount of water evaporation will be quite a lot. you need to top up the water quite often. water evaporates leaving the minerals behind still in the tank. if you keep topping up with tap water, the mineral content in your tank will keep on increasing.

If water is too hard with minerals, then your shrimps will have problem mouting. if you are really going to use fan, i suggest you top up with distilled water.

never use diamond water before. is it more pure compared to distilled? the packaging on the distilled water states free of any impurities... those that can be bought off the shelves in supermarkets
