I've not got the time and energy to put into a dramatic aquascape so am thinking if I can come up with some kind of design which will truly be low maintenance.
Why not just do away with an aquarium you may ask - I have the time to sit and enjoy it, just not the energy to keep properly on top of things.
I think a tank without plants is reasonably boring so I'm wondering about some Anubias, Bucephelandra, maybe some java fern - whether these plants alone would keep things healthy.
I guess a big piece of wood could be the key to giving both something to plant on but also something to give the fish somewhere to hide.
Substrate leaves me wondering whether I can find a gravel that will not become full of algae or if a soil type substrate is a better option.
Filtration had left me wondering if a HOB would be a wise choice?! Something like the Seachem tidal which has a skimmer function built in; just unsure about noise.
I'm trying to think really easy so anyone with any suggestions I'm listening and looking.
