Product Details
A Nano planted set is a small aquarium with a plant light and live plants. They offer a way to keep an easy to keep miniature ecosystem on your desktop.
Filter: If a filter is not built-in, you can use an air pump with a sponge filter. Another option is an internal power filter or a hang on the back filter. If you use an external power filter the intake should be secured with a pre filter.
Heater: Use a small submersible heater of 25 to 50 watts. Temperature of 76-78F for most fish. Shrimp prefer slightly cooler temperatures at
68-76F.
Live Plants: Plants grown in aquaria improve water quality to a great extent. They assist in reducing nutrients and pest algae while extending the biological capacity. They also provide additional shelter and oxygen. They are even more valuable in nano aquaria due to the instability and limitations of very small tanks. Beyond all this, planted aquaria offer great aesthetic value. As such, live plants in the aquascape are necessary and integral to the current style of nano keeping.
Measures should be implemented to support the wellbeing of selected species, including light of sufficient strength, supplemental nutrients (iron), and carbon dioxide (or carbon supplements such as excel.)
Live Plant Choices: Java fern, Anubias, Cryptocoryne, Swords, Hornwort, Anacharis, Ludwigia, Banana Plants, Creeping Charlie, leaf litter (almond leaves), drift wood and leaves give the water a natural color and are beneficial to soft water/blackwater species.
Substrate: Use a specialty substrate designed to grow plants such as Fluorite. We carry a variety.
Structure: Driftwood, natural stone.
Tankmates: Most of these fish are hardy when kept under the right conditions, but be sure to study the needs of each species.
