When I thought about getting my main tank setup, I originally had in mind that I would get a 3D printed sculpture that would change the look and also how the fish would interact with their environment. Unfortunately this did not work out as intended as the sculpture was more suited to a smaller tanks that could create the illusion of a much bigger cave.
After a bit of searching around I found the perfect sized tank and got to work researching the perfect sort of setup that would give it a zen like feel. Bamboo stalks and moss balls came top of the list for nano tanks, so I started sifting through my array of spare rocks to put a spin on my own zen tank, it is starting to take shape and I am going to add a few more plants bit at a time, get the water parameters right and then add snails and an array of coloured shrimp to this tank.
Thankfully the placement of this tank is in a warm area and means I only need a filter to break the water surface for gas exchange and a place to store the media for beneficial to grow on.
Minimal in every aspect.
