My most "NATURAL" Planted Aquarium

This is a 20 gallon long aquarium I set up in 2021. It was initially intended to grow some of my extra plants, but as some schools of my tetra dwindled, this is where the remaining ones go. Also the ones that didn't impress me as much as the others.
The substrate is re used aquasoil capped with sand. It doesn't get water changes but gets top offs. Some plants get removed if they get too thick and there's nowhere to swim.
Featuring also the sound that you would hear if I didn't mute the original audio of my videos and slap some music into them. I did mute the whistling of my nose, though :P.

I LOVE NATURAL tanks. Something special when you can replicate nature and let the tank do its own thing.

@MorningDriftwood 2 месяца назад

it's the only tank in the house that has a tetra laid, hatched, and grew big enough not to be fish food. I just noticed the small one recently.

That pennywort is gorgeous!

@MorningDriftwood 3 месяца назад

thanks to the Sun. Tried them in my indoor tank. They grew slower than the Anubias submerged under cheap aquarium lights.

I was just about to ask you to show the fish when you dropped the food in.

@AmitTheAquarists 2 месяца назад

I think the actual size of the tank has become narrow due to excessive spread of plant leaves and roots and the fish are finding it difficult to swim. Are the direct rays of the sun causing a lot of algae!!!

@MorningDriftwood 2 месяца назад

It's actually very spacious at the back towards the wall where light is limited. If I am to remove the pennyworts, it will look bare and it is. It's just the front of the setup that has a thick growth of plants due to the light reception. Before the pennyworts grew their umbrella leaves, the front of the glass would be covered with spot algae. After, it was much less. There'd be hair algae, too, but nof much at all. They just grow among the small patch of moss and around fallen dead leaves, which I just pick out from time to time.

I really love these natural setups compared to aquascaping, mine is also like this but yours is much natural!

@MorningDriftwood 3 месяца назад

@@nachii1214 disadvantage of this one is that the weather will dictate whether I can watch it or not. As of this comment, there's a cyclone passing and I can't visit it without getting drenched.

Do you have the sun on a timer? or do you turn it on and off manually :) Asking for a friend :)

@MorningDriftwood 3 месяца назад

@@AussieAquatic The Sun is always on but I set it up on this rotating block of solid which does a full rotation at approximately 24hours. It's somewhat tilted though, so depending on its position relative to the Sun, the time when it's lit may be earlier or later. It receives light around 12 hours everyday but the intensity may vary depending on the density of these floating masses of liquid droplets. Sometimes these entities of circling winds that drop a lot of water also come along and cover the light for some days.

@@MorningDriftwood will it fit on a 2 ft tank?

@MorningDriftwood 3 месяца назад

@@AussieAquatic the light can cover a 2ft tank and there's a lot left for more tanks.

I do like Pennywort but never was successful growing it inside... Yours in outside and thriving

@MorningDriftwood 3 месяца назад

Me, too. They only grew like this under the Sun and emersed. When I had them inside, lit by cheap aquarium lights, they were growing slower than the Anubias.
