Nano planted tank setup

Ever thought of brightening that corner or the bare wall of your room at office or at home! Imagine installing a small aquarium to liven up the whole room. Small aquariums also labeled, as “Nano Aquariums” are available in the range of 12 gallons.

These nano aquariums, being compact in size are ideal for the just pointed out corners or walls. They are widely being used by novice and hobbyists venturing into this amazing world of aquariums. Further, maintenance of flourishing small fresh water or even a marine system of 12 to 20 gallons has been facilitated by the easy availability of advanced multi-stage filtration and compact fluorescent lighting.

Well, small doesn’t mean any maintenance but easy maintenance. Very simply put, one gram of any chemical in say 100 gallons of any liquid will not be as effective as in a small tank of say 20 gallons. Thus fish in a small container are more susceptible to changed surroundings, be those in the quality of water or its temperature. So in smaller aquariums stress levels of fish are more marked. Nevertheless a little bit of patience coupled with that slight extra effort will go a long way in creating that good-looking and healthy nano system.
