Evolution of a nano 9.5 gallon long
Nothing to do here so since I've been sharing my successes with planted tanks and fish keeping I thought I would share my great nano failure.
My smallest of tanks is my biggest of headaches. I so wanted this tank to be a mini show tank. Algae and death, parameter inconsistency, crashes. Ugh... This is my last attempt before I toss it in my driveway. I've been working on keeping the parameters stable with buffers and minimizing foods in the tank.
Past thread
Here is the tank. This actually looks good, ha! I've been cleaning it out EVERY WEEK. This is ONE week of accumulation. Dusty algae, slimy algae covering everything.
After a front glass scrub.
Water change and re scape. I've put some woods in that I've attached plants and mosses to some time ago with hopes of putting them back into this tank. Then put in 5 Amano shrimp , and now my fingers are crossed.
If anyone wants to throw in their $0.02 about algae control, nano experience (good or bad), or just something to add along those lines please jump in.
