30cm tank, 10 litres. Update The piece of wood in the center has sunk a little, it looks more in place now. I am changing about 30% daily as I am still waiting for the filter to fully kick into operation. Even then, I will still change about 10%-20% daily as it is such a small tank. 0.5ml of melafix is also being added on a daily basis with the 30% water change. My corydoras are becoming more interactive with the aquascape as they days go by, I am taking it as a sign they are stable. Its really fun to see them 'run' on the wood or hide underneath them. Here are some more pictures. |

Update
I have decided to take a small plunge and have ordered a tank from N30. Its dimensions will be 52cmx15cmx20cm, the footprint of my bookshelf. It will be about 15 litres and so will not be too heavy for my bookshelf to support. Since a new tank is coming and this thread is active, I've decided to do a short documentary on this setup like what I did for Sanzon Iwagumi. However, this will be much shorter since it is easier without the planting of plants and there is no need for CO2, ferts or the setup of a cannister filter. I'm pretty excited and hyped up. I will be getting more pieces of ADA wood to fill up the extra space. I am also thinking of getting a few rocks tied with moss and blend those in with the wood, I'll see how it goes. The current Corydoras count of five will be expended to seven or nine depending on how the scape turns out. Most likely it will be seven Corydoras as I do not want to overload the capacity, I want them to have a good, happy life. I'm having slight problems with my current substrate, which is made out of sand. As it is so light, it tends to fly around and cloud the water in a slight haze with substrate activity from the Corydoras. I'll be looking into ADA substrate (not Amazonia) and will try to find a suitable one. If I'm not wrong, gravel is not safe for Corydoras right? Filtration will still be the Eheim Liberty 100 although I'm so tempted to go up to Liberty 150 as I get to play with the option of carbon cartridges, I am such a sucker for filtration equipment. Has anyone have experience with the carbon and bio cartridges for Eheim Liberty? Lighting will be provided by two Arcadia 9w lamps. I do have a mental picture of how I want the tank to look like and I hope I can pull it off. This is going to be my tank for ADA 2010 and unlike others who are starting now, I am definitely in time because of my aquascape is primarily hardscape! Haha. I'll upload the pictures as soon as the tank arrives, I do hope my Corydoras will enjoy their new home and that everyone enjoys the new ride. This is going to be fun.
