My three little window shelf tanks

My three little window shelf tanks

Just wanted to show off my three tanks on the window shelf (as non of my friends seem to care haha) all three are no filter - no flow setups and only the 38 liter on the right is heated.

The one to the left is a thriving Heterandria formosa tank, theres probably 40-50 in there by know, they'd move to a big tank when I find the time to set it up.

The bowl in the middle houses a breeding colony of Neocardinia shrimp

The bright one on the right has black Kuhli loaches (that I never see), 13 Checkered barbs (temp home), a handful of amanos and a single stray Dario Tigris.

This kinda shows off three different types of lighting as well (from the left):

3000k no-name flood light (20w, think it's like 1900 lm), this one is blacked out, so not a lot of "support" (+ we get like 3 hours of sun in Denmark this time a year)

A 805 lm "trådfri" Ikea bulb set to a blueish hue that I guess is around 6500k

2 10w Phillips flood lights (much better lm/w, think it's like 1450 lm per light at 4000k) they are color adjustable (2700k, 4000k, 6500k) set to 6500k (so the output is lower as they just have alternating rows of 2700k and 6500k leds and only the 6500k's are on) for whatever reason the left light on this tank is much dimmer, seems to be a loose wiring or something.

All grows plants like a charm.

Don't know why this ended up as such a long post ????
