btw for ur UGF inlet step up must becareful...

cause the waterflow will go downwards into the soil.. which will result food and debris trap in soil..

and if its a matured tank like lets say 6 months it should have stored up tons of ammonia rich dirt that will taint ur water when u happen to stir up the substrate..

i have personally done it before on a 25Litre tank.. and its disastrous.. and the sensitivity of nano tank to take great water parameter changes..

just to becareful on this part

Thanks for the advice bro. I will take note of that and make sure I don't stir my substrate.

Thanks again, sincerely. =)

This morning I did a 65% water change. And also add in Mosura Mineral Plus after filling the tank. I noticed the US fissiden are growing with new green leaf.

Didb't take any photo as the tank still look the same. hahaha... I will update some photos in a few days time.

Next step, I will add in Old Sea Mud Rock in another 1.5 weeks time, should be on 28th of Apr.

Last but not least, since my tank is only near to 20 liters, I thought a small chiller would be enough for it. =)
Hi bro,
thanks so much for the reply. By the way do you know the cost of the Hailea HC-100A chiller? Is it more expensive than Johnlen TEM Chiller ?
Good luck in your set up. Very detail and interesting. Thanks for sharing.

most places selling Hailea 100A @ 300 to 320 range. But i got mine at NA for a dirt cheap price but there are pros and cons of it

Highlander TEM should be cheaper than 100A if i am not wrong.
