Container - 1.5 litre coffee jar
Substrate - Playsand
Hardscape - Wood and rocks i scavanged from my backyard
Plants - Anubias, Java fern, Peacock moss & Crypt wendtii

A pic of the jar beside mobile to give a size reference


Planted - let me say tying them little plants on was hard work lol


First time i've had a go at something so small, quite pleased how it came out!

Wow that looks awesome! :sunny: How are you going to maintain it?

It will get weekly WC's because there are a few cherry shrimp living in there

Other than that it will be left alone

Looks great Alasse, do you think it will be a problem maintaining water quality in such a small volume of water

No, it should be no different than a large tank. It has live plants with a light bioload, so waterchanges will keep it sweet

Hmmm yes quite interesting scape indeed

Will be going and picking up a clip on light for it today also, then i can view the shrimpy going ons and also a bit more light for the plants.

Tis a fun little project

I picked up a desk lamp for it...has a halogen globe equivilant of 40W of light *LOL* Will be a bit of trial and error at how far away for the top of the jar the light needs to be. I can now see my shrimpies comings and goings!
