1 month ago i started this little tank (45x28x28).
i used to have a planted tank a few years ago but then i switched to a vivarium/paludarium, about a month ago i couldn't resist the urge anymore to start another tank.
I wanted a simple low tech tank which still looks kinda cool, i bought the cheapest tank i could find and added some sand and stones. I had an internal filter still laying around so used that to start the tank.
during this month i changed the layout a little, added some more stones, added moss, removed the hairgrass , added 2 pieces of wood, changed the lighting to a 20w led and made a diy lilly pipe for my new external filter.
below are a few pics from start till now including a huge brown algae break out 2 weeks ago.
I have 2 dwarf puffers swimming around in this tank and 5 oto's
I hope you like the tank and will update the thread with pictures as the tank evolves
