I want to try setting up and running what is called a natural tank (stupid name, everything is natural, lol). It involves taking as many materials from the environment as possible, using minimal chemical inputs, and lowest possible tech help. Aquariums have become expensive complex machines these days so it is a bit of back to the future. So, deep sandbed over local mud base, heavily planted, rainwater filled, and see what happens...
It's gardening underwater, and if the results are okay, I might buy myself some fish for my birthday in November as a reward, lol.
It is a very neat little tank, tall and square, 23 litres which is challenging but okay for a couple of fish, built in light and basic filtration system, and the seller threw in a little heater and delivered it last night, an hour after I paid for it. Lovely woman too, so that was a bonus.
Quite exciting to have a project to being focused on!
