2.5 gal Nano

[Beverly]

Geez, all this talk about small tanks got me off my chair and out to the lfs this morning. Came home with all the fixings to get my Little Lagoon up and running:

I discarded everything except the tank, and the "Neptune Blue" bottom and lid. I replaced the 15 watt incandescent with a 15 watt envirolite and replaced the huge Whisper filter with an AquaClear 100 powerhead. That little powerhead sure pushes water in a 2.5! Yikes!! To minimize the water flow and to remove some of the fine dust and other floating debris I elasticked an AC Mini foam to the powerhead intake. Also added a Hagen 50 watt heater.

Now if only the tank would clear, we'd be able to see the 2.5 lbs of Tonga branch rock ;-) To stabilize the rock, I poured the 4" sandbed around and over the base of the rock. Plus I bought a small bunch of large-leafed halimeda to help with the cycling. I just hope the powerhead isn't blowing away the halimeda.

Take care all.
