No tech tank

gabysapha · 01-06-2013, 04:50 AM

Your thread inspired me to do my own low tech 10g. I have longfin white clouds in there with some cherry shrimp. I put some stiff wire mesh on top and cut out holes to insert my houseplants I got on sale. I use a simple sponge filter.

Things are growing well in the light it gets from a north facing window and the light from my desk lamp.

I used pothos, begonia, anthurium (see the flower?), dumb cane (beware of the sap, my skin reacted badly to it), two Dracenas, purple waffle plant that lost its purpleness, and pilea.

Any updated pics of the tank?

Wow! You say there's a tank and some fish under all that plant life, huh??

Awesome.

Now thinking of taking my planted HOB from the cube and sticking it on this tank along with all the plants. I really hate that tank and fancy turning it into a carnivorous plant/orchid terrarium
