A 29G no tech Riparium. The inspiration comes from BigTom and Hydrophyte, owner of RipariumSupply, so a big thanks to them for starters!
I wanted to try something new, I wanted it to be cheap and at least fairly self sustaining. I don't mind the occasional feed or adding of ferts but I'd like to keep water changes to a minimum. I suffer from ME and I find them difficult on anything other than really small tanks. Plus I wanted the challenge of going El Natural.
Rocks, gravel and soil in. Around 1 inch of each.
Planters in.
A few plants to start.
Moved the peace Lilly...
Magnolia leaves from the garden still waiting to sink. All the plants are terrarium cuttings so I'm hoping they adjust to the lower humidity.
I do have some plants in the middle, they're just growing real slow. A shame because I'd have liked the emersed section to be a little more even looking in by now.
Have moved and trimmed a few parts that were overgrown so maybe considering some more species to hurry it up
Added some E.tennulus down the front with some crypts, once they grow in I'm hoping it will start to look really sweet.
