Im hoping that will be the case at some point. Given the size of this tank, it might not be possible but we will see.

Will be a struggle I reckon pal. The Endlers I have seem to be constantly looking for food, I don't think anything could reproduce faster than they eat.

I agree, will be good to see what works in this setup, ive got a big section of java moss growing, ready for the big tank (80cm) after xmas. I'm confident that with just a few fish in that tank (think i will go with golden white clouds) i can get a colony of shrimp and water fleas. I'll seed the tank for a long period first.

I'm finding that the guppies are too aggressive in this setup so i will be switching them out for 2x golden white cloud minnows. I have kept them with little critters before and they dont seem to hunt anywhere near as aggressively as guppies.

Here is the basic hardscape with new stand. Next job....substrate.
Looks great. Are you going for some emersed growth?

100% substrate and plants are in now. I'll wait until the morning for photos as the water is a bit milky the moment.

Ecosystem upgrade tank all planted. Water is a bit misty due to substrate and tannins from the new wood, but should be all clear in a few days. Really happy with how it all turned out. Exactly how I'd built it for a week in my head

Thanks. I will completely leave that aspect of it and just have a huge jungle growing out of the top.
