jem_xxiii Posted November 18, 2015 Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 Specs: - Tank: 7 gallons rimless - Filter: Jebo 501 - Light: Mr. Aqua Ultrathin LED - Substrate: Black aquarium gravel - Hardscape: Small driftwood, lava rock - Flora: Anubias Nana Petite / Mini Xmas Moss - Shrimps: Black Diamond Neos / Malawas (Thanks Soothing!) I am not done with the hard scape, but I feel as if it is good enough to share with you guys (and girls). Currently have my mini xmas moss tied down and growing on some SS mesh. The name is play on words, not only is there a ridiculous amount of Anubias Nana Petite in the tank, but it is also the nickname of someone who is very close to me.

kaydoubleyou Posted November 18, 2015 Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 Looks really great! Need pics of your shrimpies too Love the black substrate with all the Anubias, nice job. jem_xxiii 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll get around to that eventually. The substrate looks great, except when half of your shrimp are black... that was my fail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shrimple minded Posted November 18, 2015 Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 Love the setup. The background is awesome, so is the minimal HOB. Hope you really enjoy this tank. jem_xxiii 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jem_xxiii Posted November 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 Love the setup. The background is awesome, so is the minimal HOB. Hope you really enjoy this tank. Thank you, it is painted the same color as the walls of the room it is in. The HOB is a little underwhelming but it does its job. Very Nice Tank. I love the anubias! Anubias Nana Petite FTW! Love the plant, easy to take care of and looks great. Really like what you have done with the little space you had to scape. Nice work! Thanks! Scaping is my background now starting to get into the shrimpin' game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jem_xxiii Posted November 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2015 Here's a front shot of my tank. I added more of the SUDO blocks, not too sure how much I like it. Here's one of my black diamonds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenteam Posted November 22, 2015 Report Share Posted November 22, 2015 I like the way it was before because it made the focus on the right side of the tank the nana's. Also before the blocks added a subtle touch now they kinda overpower the tank and become more the focal point. For visual design try to stick to odd numbers as apposed to evens so use blocks in groups of 3,5,7, etc because it adds a natural effect (the wife added this since shes a graphic designer lol) But that's just my opinion lol. svetilda and jem_xxiii 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jem_xxiii Posted November 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2015 Tell your wife thanks for taking a look at my tank! Went ahead and took some cubes out, looks way less crowded so thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jem_xxiii Posted December 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2015 Counted about 8 shrimplets this morning. My black diamonds and malawas have been breeding like crazy lately. Also added a horned nerite who is chowing down on some diatoms. Soothing Shrimp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jem_xxiii Posted February 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 Time for an update. I have moved many things around and have finally had some more time to work on my tank. It is still not how I want it, but it is a start. Got rid of 1/2 my nana petite and added some buces and mosses. This tank is my shrimp / planted / grow out tank all in one. That is what happens when you work, go to school and do not want to have to cycle and throw more money into other tanks. Originally I just had black diamonds, but now I also have Malawas and 3 Tigers that I picked up from a local breeder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DETAquarium Posted February 12, 2016 Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 Looks fantastic! Well done, the placement of the Anubias is very appealing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jem_xxiii Posted February 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 Looks fantastic! Well done, the placement of the Anubias is very appealing. Thanks! That is about 1/2 of what I had. In this image there is about 150+ leaves of nana in there, the nana jungle is pretty dense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jem_xxiii Posted February 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2016 added some more buces, it is slowly becoming an anubias nana and buce tank. Shrimps are breeding like crazy. ElevateShrimp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jem_xxiii Posted March 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2016 Update: Tank now has only anubias nana & bucephalandras (as well as shrimps of course). was going for a lazy psuedo iwagumi type of design.

II Knucklez II Posted March 26, 2016 Report Share Posted March 26, 2016 Awesome set up...

jem_xxiii Posted March 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2016 Thanks guys. Going to let everything grow in for a little while to see what kind of coverage my buces will give me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
