Oh, your nano is not at home? Bro, find a space and start at home! Its a 30cm cube, I'm sure you can find a space.

Yeap do update us on what are the items we can get in bulk
We are all learning from one another. You should start looking and shopping for hardscape as soon as you can. Good hardscape takes time to find.

You can look at the AF preferred partners at the top of the main forum page for tank makers. Contact them and get some quotations.

Can start now arh, i go setup already lor!

On a serious note, can I join in halfway? Cos I still thinking of setting a tank in my office cos of aircon so cooler climate for the plants. Am even thinking of having a setup without filter, just water change every day. Is it possible to sustain the setup without filtration?

Looking forward to seeing that fish room. For me, I am still dreaming about a tank bigger than 30 litres.

Sure! Start at a time you are comfortable with. Without filter will be challenging, water flow in a aquascape is of great importance to the fauna, flora and general stability in the tank. For myself, the only fauna I will attempt is a betta, if the aquascape does not have water flow.

umm...if heading towards a non-filtration tank (only lighting), in order for the plants to strive, then frequent water change, fert dosing as well as Seachem flourish excel would be sufficient?
