ANBU Posted October 29, 2014 Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 I always wanted to try this method out. I probably want to add some Pandas in the near future This is my 15 gallon long CRS tank I setup the new tank next to it. I added seachem matrix, ceramic rings, and the substrate on top of the undergravel filter. I poured about 4 bags. Added tap water so the tank could cycle properly. How it looks with light on. There was no dust and its clear. h4n, Hiatus, eozen81 and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DETAquarium Posted October 29, 2014 Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 Looks like a great start! Seems like alot of people are trying this technique out. Not sure the benefits still. ANBU 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted October 29, 2014 Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 Looks like a great start! Seems like alot of people are trying this technique out. Not sure the benefits still. Supposedly easier clean up from the bare side, more biofilm, and easier netting. High5's and ANBU 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Posted October 29, 2014 Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 Nice start. I am thinking of trying a no substrate tank; well, no substrate in the display tank. I will either put bags of substrate in a sump or I'll put it in a canister filter inline with primary filter.

Soothing Shrimp Posted October 29, 2014 Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 Ron, I've often wondered about that experiment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aquariumlover10 Posted October 29, 2014 Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 Looks cool, but why not have a slope? So they don't have to swim up, they can walk up it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishyd Posted October 29, 2014 Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 Very nice and clean. Make me want to try it. But I'm pretty sure my wife would kill me... ANBU and eozen81 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

christinenha Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 Omg. I am still awed by your set-up! The shrimp look to be doing great on the bare side! Do you just have those two anubias in there? Do most set-ups have minimal plants for easier view/catching or is that just preference?

christinenha Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 I'm about to set up my 20 long, and I've been on and off Han's website looking at plants. I may go overboard on plants again. >.> ANBU and h4n 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoping it will grow more beautifully later on I'm about to set up my 20 long, and I've been on and off Han's website looking at plants. I may go overboard on plants again. >.> haha I know... I did the same thing. 20g long and 15g long are my fave dimension tanks. h4n 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
