After shutting all my aquariums down my young nephews (and mum) missed things as much as I did so my mum is keeping a 45P going.
Looking for some suggestions for the most simple setup out there to give something interesting enough, without the effort.
Mainly with regards to planting ideas, I've had a look over the Tropica inspiration but unsure I'm seeing what mum's looking for. I've my own ideas but is always interesting to hear other people's ideas and think this is likely the best place for the right input to create a lasting setup that's also stable.

- Lighting is a Twinstar E with controller
- Filtration is a Seachem Tidal HOB
- Substrate is most likely a fine gravel (something like Unipac Nordic/Arctic 2-5mm or thereabouts) - keen to avoid a soil substrate due to the mess that would be made.
- Option to add some wood/stone if needed but hopefully with the right plants this won't be needed
- Fertilisation will be premixed like Tropica Specialised
- Liquid Carbon can be added easily enough
- Livestock will likely be a small school of Ember Tetra, a few Dwarf Ottos, a blue shrimp breeding colony and a few Amano shrimp.
- Planting??????????
