My husband has just told me that another fish tank is arriving tomorrow as he got a bargain.
Tank
It will be glass measuring 30cm x 20cm x 20cm (12l) so a bit small for fish and he hasn’t bought a filter yet. The tank was only £20 inc delivery so won’t be fancy
Substrate/planta
I’m thinking I’ll stick some John Innes and black gravel in it with a twiggy bit of spiderwood and moss and a few stem plants and some red root floater
I will probably mix some of the manado from the tank I’m getting rid of into the soil
Lighting
It will be on a north facing windowsill initially with a clip on led light I have in the drawer
If it works out I might add few cherry shrimp to it in a month or two but I’m expecting an algae farm
Have I missed anything vital for a no filter, low tech experiment.
